Still lots of difficulties getting accurate info. Mrs Howell reports a potential problem in the u14s. Player Jason Goh is on the pairings twice, as 'Jason Goh' and with his Chinese name 'Goh ???????' I wonder if the organisers will do a full repair when they are informed of the problem?

12.30pm George O'Toole has just come to tell me that his pairing has been changed in the U10s. Mrs Howell has gone to do a full check of the England pairings.

More as the situation develops ... 1.20pm Well, yes you've guessed it - the U14s have just been re-paired. Informed Murugan on his way to lunch. We are now trying to find some information on his new opponent 'Pham Chuong'.

4.00pm No reference to Pham Chuong on FIDE database but Mark Hebden's brilliant resources have spirited up 32 games of his. They are preparing up to the start time.

5.15pm George O'Toole, fooled us all when he came in looking miserable and slumped in his chair - but couldn't keep up the pretence - a quick win.

Yesterday was a traumatic day for the players. I think we did well to keep our team positive and motivated. I have just been approached to consider a protest meeting of delegates - I'll keep you informed. During all the protracted events of last evening, unknown to me (I would have held my stomach in if I'd known), Eric Khoo was keeping a 'photo diary'.

6.40 Katie lost 6.55 Craig won 6.57 Amisha lost 7.05 Jessie lost 7.10 Ameet a draw 7.45 Teresa lost 7.50 James won 7.55 two at once, Gawain a draw and Selena a good win and the most momentous news. I now have a list of all the players competing, and round 1 pairings.

8.10 Simon lost 8.12 Murugan won, closely followed by Molly with a draw - this draw means that all the England players are off the mark (see round 3 points).

8.15 Li is a loss and 8.20 Poppy lost, just David playing

11.05 David won in about 70 moves. One game has only recently finished with approx 180 moves. Unfortunately this means that pairings will not be displayed until 12.00. I will send out as soon as possible. Double round tomorrow. The coaches and players have decided to have a get together from 7 o'clock.
