Photos and a special game - drawing with the 8th best player in the world!

This is Pete Martin's draw against GM Michael Adams who is currently 8th in the world!

I believe it was just about the only draw the whole day including my own loss which just avoided the 25 move official "miniature" tag.

Well done to Chris Mattos and the Edwardians guys for organising a great day.

I wrote a small report for Chess Today which was written before Pete sent me his game so I just tried to get a flavour of the event across and had only my game to show! Here is the issue which can be read using adobe acrobat CT-1258.pdf and the pgn file CT-1258.pgn. For more info on Chess Today the website is www.chesstoday.net.

I don't care if you are the organiser .. ok then I'll make this game finish last then but that's my final offer.
