Following some technical glitches we eventually got underway. The longer time control and evenly matched players made for some tense and exciting games going right down to the wire. Point totals after two rounds are below. Crosstables so far and the draw for the entire tournament is located here. Round 3 resumes after the holiday break on 16 October
