Hehe, my DiscoCheck did pretty well in the end, "stealing" the second place to Gaviota by half a point

Gaviota choked in the end. Miguel told me he was going to send Gaviota to a sports psychologist

DiscoCheck keeps on improving!

Thanks Graham for running these tourneys! It is great fun to log in to talkchess and check the progress of the divisions on a regular basis.

P.S. I am still trying to get Tom's Live Chess Viewer going to watch EXchess in real time (tried disabling the firewall, opening the relevant ports on my router, putting my machine past my router on the network, etc., no joy yet.) I have windows 7 on my laptop, so I wonder if that is part of the issue.

Hi Dan,

regarding your problem being able to connect to TLCV, I hope that somebody with more technical nous than myself can suggest a solution.

Graham.
