[Ken Craft]

I thought Spraggett had announced that he was going to play in this event.

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Ken:

He did; but he's a no-show.

Bob

[Fred McKim]

Yes, Ken. Now, you'll have to wait a month before you get to see Kevin in action at Cappelle-la-Grande :)

[Ken Craft]

I thought he could be seen in action daily on the web.:D

Bob

[Kerry Liles]

Bob, I would suggest removing the pictures (now) and it would greatly improve the readability of the post if you could BOLD the actual results since they are in the middle of the rather crowded line containing the matchups... ie:

Bd. 56 158 Fairbairn Stephen ( 2058 ) 1½ 0 - 1 1 FM Illner Achim Dr ( Germany - 2345 ) 82

However, thanks(!) for posting the results and the upcoming pairings...

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Kerry:

I will do both !
