Yeah, some of the boards have been a bit shaky in the past, looks like we've fallen victim to that today.
In Calum's game, I'd have been quite wary about castling queenside with that g7-bishop pointing at me (the White centre looks quite strong, but can be undermined fairly quickly). Was going to say Hebden might castle kingside. To my untrained eye, Calum looks to be doing well enough, though it's early days.
I'm a little worried about Hamish's position - it's quite open and I'm not sure whether he's sufficiently developed. If nothing goes badly wrong in the next three or four moves then I think his prospects are solid.
