I have also spotted a familiar name in the Women's tournament - Helen Milligan, playing under the flag of New Zealand...

Only Craig's game is on the live boards today. Currently watching this at
http://worldsenior2013.rijekachess.com/e...mes/live-2. Having to use my Opera browser, as quite ridiculously the website recommends using another browser as states it does not work very well with Internet Explorer.

Good draw for Helen today. Her opponent, Elena Fatalibekova, was a very strong player in her heyday.

Great result for Helen. Nona was none too pleased!

That's a big name (no pun), a whopper. Are there any other Scots victories against former World Champions? Keti beat Smyslov once, but I don't think she could be claimed as a Scot at the time.
