Italy have raced to an early 12-4 lead in this event 

These early results are somewhat misleading - the event is effectively in two halves:

On the top half of the table, we are behind 3.5-4.5, despite a near 100 average elo disadvantage. On the bottom half, we are doing rather less well with a 0.5-7.5 scoreline, although this is to be expected considering an over 300 elo average disadvantage!

So we fight on!

It is great to report new records.

We reached a new record in terms of posts in a month, passed 150 posts for the year and had a record number of visitors both from international and UK sources!
