Whenever you want, Nick.
Every day you mentioned is fine for me ☺

I am very happy that you are trying hard and investing so much work. So I have no other priorities in front of this tournament.

Steffen already picked the Star Sapphire which is the portable equivalent to the SD:

would be two exact programs in the tournament
OK with me but that's up to the TD to decide I guess

I had't seen that Steffen already play with the Star Sapphire. In this case I either play with Senator or Diamond II, whichever fits better...

It is automatically saved Steve. Click on your profile, scroll down to one of your played games and click on it. Then click on Analysis board, which is to the right of your chessboard (below Rematch). Then scroll down and you will see the FEN and the complete game.

You can highlight with your mouse and copy paste straight into Hiarcs.

It also saves all your games in PGN format for posterity.

Best regards
Nick

July 15 - Yes
July 22 - Yes
July 29 - Yes
Aug 5 - Yes
Aug 12 - Yes
Aug 19 - Yes
Aug 26 - Yes

All dates are currently Yes, although I'll probably go on a cruise at some time soon, which I'll book around the chosen date.

I'd picked the Mephisto Milano Pro but may switch to the Revelation II Diablo which I'll try out this week when the Rev2 is set up once again.

Cheers,

Al.
