 |
|
Round 2, EK open. Jimmy Doyle is playing Ian MacLachlan on Board 2. First time control is approaching and I am watching both that game and the game on board 12 ( with the layout, they are close to each other). They are both desperately close to the time control and begin to blitz. 5 moves in and BLEEEEEEP. Clock goes off and resets itself....
Thankfully it did not take me 18 minutes to sort it out (closer to 5), but what are the odds of that happening! |
