START OF GIBRALTAR MASTERS ROUND 4

This is the commencement of the fourth round at the Gibraltar Masters. You can notice that there are quite a few people milling around in the playing hall. It was quite difficult to get a good video clip without being too obtrusive to the players so I never took any more videos.

THE UNOBTRUSIVE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

This video shows the official tournament photographer going about her business. It is interesting to note how she can carry it out without being obtrusive toward the players, that is a useful talent to have.

SHORT VIDEO OF GIBRALTAR ROUND 3

Here is a short video of the Amateur and Challengers round three just prior to the commencement.

Disaster, I have now lost 2 games in a row.  This is sufficient proof that I have now legal grounds for taking action against the N.Ireland Police service for the confiscation of ALL my computers and ALL my Chess work, ALL the Dbases and ALL my Chess studies.

The PSNI have caused me unnecessary trauma, emotional upset, loss of time and financial loss as well.  I am sure there will be a few other things I can think of to add to the list before I go home and see my solicitor about this grievous matter.

My Chess performance has rapidly deteriorated since my UNNECESSARY arrest on November 11th.

SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE LATEST BSI RESULT

Belfast South 2 is also known as Kelly`s Heroes.

Meanwhile BSI 1 will play Lagan on Thursday night.
