Hallo,
I finished proceeding rounds 1-5
completely and gave them to Alex.
Rounds 6-9 r still in progress.
Though I finished to enter most games in rounds 6-9, some (many) r still left "unreadable" at my 1st attempt to reconstruct them.
You will see that even in rounds 1-5 many r left as "unreadable", but I tried here to reconstruct as much as possible.
But in these 4 rounds many games need a 2nd attempt, as espcially in the critical situations after leaving book knowledge and standard moves the games become harder and harder to read, probably because the tension made it harder to concentrate on the game and on writing properly.
Also in the later rounds many games we ran out of sheets and so many games r only reonstructed from one shhet, which makes it especially difficult.
But I know that especially these situatons r the most valuable in any book, so I need a few days to look closer and finish them.
Just want you to know that it will be done in the next days.
After that I will also finish work on translating my German Open 2007 bulletin into an English Version and I will work on theGerman Open bulletins 2006 (annotations by Liam Stephens) and 2008 after that as well as on annotating my own Beijing games and to write a chapter on player biographies in the WMSG book project.
BTW: The German Open will be held from August 14th to August 16th in Korbach, Germany.
It will be 7 Rounds Swiss-System in GAYP and 45 Minuted per game, two games each round.
