We have not had time yet to look at games yet because we have been collecting the incoming e-mail from well-wishers around the world and pinning them up on to a board outside the tournament room. Among the e-mails is the rumorous scurrility (from Ivan Oddcat, naturally) that Wilma Warwick (SCotland) has defected to the Seychelles ("SC").
