#1
I will be flying to Lyon on the 24th July to participate in the 6th IBCA European Chess Championships for the Blind. The Standard of the competition is very high with the Reigning World Champion and the current European Champion rated at 9th and 10th seeds respectively!!
I will be seeded 36th out of 64 players

Here is the link to the tournament

Just got this from Stevie Hilton

"After 7 rounds, I am on 3.5/7 in the championship in Lyon France.
1/ Russia 1-0 Scotland
2/ Scotland 1-0 Croatia
3/ Croatia 0.5-0.5 Scotland
4/ Scotland 0.5-0.5 Slovenia
5/ Moldova 1-0 Scotland
6/ Scotland 0.5-0.5 Germany
7/ Italy 0-1 Scotland

The event started badly for me, when I arrived but my luggage did not!!
Tomorrow in round 8, I am white against a player from France"

Stevie's just emailed me to say he's drawn his last two games against France and Romania with 4.5/9 , losing only two games in the entire tournament, well done Stevie!
