I took Vishnu(9) & friend to a chess camp near Brompton Cemetery earlier today. I remembered that there is a famous chess player there - Johannes Zukertort (28.Qb4!!) - so we paid homage. Kudos to @stuthefox for his work in 2012 that led to restoring the gravestone.

I love a Friday evening round and particularly enjoyed seeing the playing hall tonight. 2nd year running at Hastings and delighted to see 3 of my opponents from last yr are back again too. I've gone up a section but (somehow) off the mark with a stodgy draw.
Our 98th International Chess Congress is not over - the 40th weekend congress has just begun! Lots of new participants plus plenty who have stayed on.
