Homeward Bound

MY flight back to England is tomorrow, but it will be more than a week before I play over-the-board again thanks to the London League abandoning chess in January.

This will give me a chance to take an in-depth look at some of the key and interesting points that arose in my Alicante games.

Meanwhile here are some long-range photos taken this morning of the city's Saint Bárbara Castle, originally built by Muslim occupiers in the 800s but much modified over the centuries.
