END

When I recover I will probably do my usual comments on the games. For those who actually look at the games, please note that I played the move Re1 at the end of my game, the problem was that when I went to press my clock my time had run out. Re1 leads to a perpetual check. That’s Chess!

Please note that the complete table with who beat who for all the rounds is attached.
