Can Chessgames upload the picture I have taken here? Sep-18-11    arifattar: I also asked for the scoresheets of his games. I was told by the person in-charge there that I could have them at the end of all rounds. Which is apparently this evening. But I won't be there today. So how do I send his photograph to you <chessgames>?
