Hello everyone,

The site was intented to go up in a few weeks with some promotions, but some of you already found the site and posted about it on youtube. We are still testing some things out, the forum however is already working.

In this thread you can give us input and share what you would like to see on our site.

Michael Adams won the tie breaks of the 98^th British Chess Championship in Sheffield. Adams and 2^nd place finisher Nigel Short both scored 8,5/11.

Their individual match was a very interesting and hard fought Giuoco Piano in round 8, that eventually was drawn.

The Tie break format was 2 games with 20 minutes plus 10 minutes per move. The first game with Short playing white was drawn, Adams managed to convincingly win a Caro-Kann in the second game to clinch his 4^th British title.
