Brechin Aagaard in today's Scotsman
Green v Burnett in tomorrows

Will do three parts. The first set of games are those I played over
judging the blunder/swindle prize - I will be entering all the games
for the download section of the Chess Scotland website.

Will have some 'normal' games next time.
