  tamar: 1 minute for Howell now, doing the full Grischuk for the last round,

  Dionysius1: <sydbarrett> At least them having to play a game together proves they both exist ; –)

  tamar: Would make a good plot twist for "Dead Ringers 2"
Aug-07-15  Harvestman: Hawkins strikes first to get to 8.5. That puts the pressure on the other leaders.
Aug-07-15  capablancakarpov: And Hebden blunders at move 38 from a drawish position. Now Howell can tie with Hawkins for first

  Dionysius1: It's looking very like a play-off tomorrow between Howell and Hawkins. Howell is winning against Hebden.
Aug-07-15  technical win: <capablancakarpov: And Hebden blunders at move 38 from a drawish position. Now Howell can tie with Hawkins for first> A <technical win> for sure, although everything can happen in a rook endgame.
Aug-07-15  capablancakarpov: Howell spend 30 minutes on move 42, and now is again in severe time trouble, this kid needs adrenaline!

  tamar: Howell liquidates into drawn ending. Tough to win anyway, but a puzzling decision.
Aug-07-15  kellmano: The Perts aren't identical twins <dionysius1>, though they are clearly brothers. Both look like chess players, if you know what I mean.

Gormally's tweet to which I referred was one saying that Arkell had said that he wanted to play a nervous Gorm in the last round and that friends shouldn't do this and that Arkell was a <insert word rhyming with banker>

Aug-07-15  kellmano: Fair play Hawkins. He lost earlier to Gormally, but is a super strong player.

  Dionysius1: <kellmano> Thanks. Gormally seems to live in a world of pain with his chess.

  offramp: Well done to Hawkins. His book is really good, BTW.
Aug-07-15  kellmano: <Dinoysius1> yes I think it might extend to his life in general. He moans all the time about how he hasn't got a girlfriend or money or how fat he is (I don't think he's that fat).

He tweeted once 'When will my life get any better?' and I responded along the lines of 'not until you are a bit more positive about yourself'. He didn't reply.

  Dionysius1: <kellmano> Well I wish him a happier life and a better opinion of himself. Apropos, that was a fun tournament to keep up with.
Aug-07-15  Everett: Regarding Gormally, perhaps a little narcissism and focus on oneself can translate into a gal and better life soon after.

Um, tanker, for one hundred points???

  offramp: Gormally tweeted, about prize money:

<The difference between 8 points and 7.5 was vast: 8 got just over £1,400 whereas 7.5 got £150.>

Mind you, I seem to remember that a few years ago the British Ch was played without a prize fund.

  Dionysius1: <Everett> I assume you mean a little less narcissism…?
Aug-08-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  Dionysius1: It sounds like the top players got some appearance fees as well, from what Phil Ehr CEO of the English Chess Federation said at a recent Q & A. Hear at 19:40https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzA...

  perfidious: The eight-pointers probably made enough to cover expenses and not a great deal more (including time spent preparing for the event) and those who took home 150 quid were left with walking round money--maybe.
Aug-08-15
Premium Chessgames Member
  Dionysius1: I guess it depends how much the appearance fees were, that Phil Ehr seem to be implying were paid.
Aug-09-15  Everett: <Dionysius1: <Everett> I assume you mean a little less narcissism…?>

No, meant as stated.

  Dionysius1: Interesting! You may be right :-)
