Dionysius1: Sounds great! Guildford seems to have been the second highest rated team by average ELO, and Wood Green the highest, so it was like the second seed beat the top seed? I can see how, if I've got it right, playing fees and preferences the top players might have for congenial ...

Dionysius1: I read somewhere recently that playing in their home countries has not favoured past champions anyway - that challengers have won more in the champion's home country than elsewhere. Does anyone with more knowledge of chess history than I have know if that's true? If it is true, ...
