Round four

After yesterday’s draw today both boys are facing a completely other game.
S has to not lose from a lower rated player, E can try to not lose from a much higher International Master. The first three rounds players can choose to skip one game (you take a bye). It’s done a lot on the Sunday when you have to play two games. Today is the first round everyone had to play and it’s a lot more crowded now.

I can see where E is playing from where I sit. When you look for the player in white you can spot E on the left side and on the other side of the table. People are allowed to walk between the boards to take a look, as long as they are very quiet. You are not allowed to take photos after five minutes from the start, but there’s a tournament photographer. I watched her making photos and I think she is doing a great job! She waits just long enough to get someone on the camera just the way they really are. Love it!
