For sure the viewing pleasure for the online audience is diminished without this. Seems a shame to get the technology all in place then miss this out That all being said, the allergo finish of Tate - Arakhamia fully stands up as quality entertainment all on it's own :p. Also have to wonder how well Mr Green slept last night after Black's Houdini act in same round. I doubt Neil Berry's can quite believe what happened to him in round 4 either.
My game v Keti was just embarrassing. In a non-armageddon time control I would resign, but then I would not have blundered the c-file and then a bishop... This is what the public wants. Hope it was good entertainment - can't say I enjoyed it much. The board didn't actually record the end of the game, probably because it's not designed for bullet!
Archibong - Berry makes no sense at first glance. White's play seems very deep, playing for a win in that position was brave! I guess the d4 pawn is always weak along with threats on the 7th rank - should be enough for a draw. Bg1 was an incredible move. I'm assuming the allegro finish had an influence there too.
I'm thinking the miss in Green - Lauridsen was 33 Rxd4!??!
