Or so I am told. This is quite tough, I think. At the end of the round, Jaap or Jos (forgot which) went off with a diskette with the results to be placed on the MSO World website (sorry I don't have the link here). I don't think there is any internet link from the hall. I think Amir is relaying Junior's moves by mobile phone, as I saw him talking into it several times. I think the best hope is to look at the MSO world website. I've posted brief impressions from Round 1 on the Board. Round two will finish late tonight, because of hte late finish to the Junior-SOS game in Round 1. If I have time to go back tomorrow, I will post further impressions, but don't hold your breath.
