Very nice Chess Congress over this past weekend. Exeter College in the quaint town of Oxford was the venue. Funny enough, the room in which the open section was played had the amusing label (for Chess purposes, a misnomer :-) );  Quarell Room.

Okay, done with the mundane stuff. I somehow (unsurprisingly) ended up in what appears to be my regular Congress position; a shared second/first place. Ah well…

Congress report coming up: pics, games, a blitz tourney, chicken tikka and a surfeit of C2H5OH.
