Jul-14-04  ruylopez900: Does anyone know if Hastings 1989 was a DRR or if there were multiple stages? Just wondering because theres another game from the same event the Spraggett wins as White.

Only real comment about the game is Spraggett castling Kingside. No!! You're supposed to put a rook on that open file and just crash into his castled king. This doesn't mean Q-side castling all the time, but even the middle (or say e7 to connect the Rooks) seems more sensible.

Jul-14-04  sneaky pete: <ruylopez900> Hastings 1989-1990 was indeed a double round robin with 8 players. By relegating lower rated players to the second group, the organizers could boast a category 14 tournament, of course greatly enhancing their own importance.
Jul-14-04  ruylopez900: <sneaky pete> Hehe, alright thanks. **Congrats then to Spraggett for making the cut into the first group :)**
