Are tournaments finding the no-draw-before-30 rule unpopular with players? Aug-03-19    woldsmandriffield: Any chance of an update - the tournament is stuck in round 4. Thanks! Aug-06-19    Tabanus: Congrats Mickey. Palliser had w/o wins in rounds 3 & 4 (so only 7 games). Arkell did not play his rd. 4 game (vs Palliser), and Pert did not play his last round game. Dec-15-19    paavoh: What economy by Adams, average moves per games less than 28.
