Yes that was a good game by Craig to get back into the mix. In the previous round his opponent played so many good moves I would have been examining his shoes...
Some juicy ties tomorrow with the pick being Vaisser vs Kristiansen on top table- a repeeat of the decisive game from last year. Can Jens do it again? All of the other top games look to be worth watching too so if you can cattch the live games do so... (who needs Anand-Carlsen any more).
Some familiar faces up against the other Scots tomorrow - Phil vs Swiss FM Peter Hohler, who we see often and who sometimes joined us for dinner last year. And after some good results Ian is up against our old Austrian friend Klaus Nickl, who holidays in Scotland every year and plays in the Scottish.
Douglas looks to have a tough opponent in a highly rated Russian but that usually brings out the best in him so I'm looking forward to that too.
