Nice game again today from Andrew.
One thought when watching is that there are quite a few games reducing down to blitz at a much earlier stage (in terms of moves played) than normal, with final results being decided as usual by blunders at this stage. This suggest to me that our players there must think clearly about this and use it to their advantage if at all possible.
And secondly players should think about the event time controls before they go to it and make sure they get familiar with them in real games as part of their pre-event prep.
