Six of us rode together, and except for Paitrick who finished 2-2=1 playing up in the U2200 section, the rest of us performed well below our capabilities.
Looks like Ivan, you had a bad start. Anyway, you can still make up for the loss.

I'm looking at these young players, like the 11 year old and that guy Kirill, and how high they are rated...it really amazes me.
