Czeching In

FLEW to Brno this afternoon for the CzechTour's Olomouc summer festival, which, apart from a publicity simul earlier today, starts tomorrow at Olomouc's Flora hotel.

There are five main tournaments: three round-robin norm events, an open and a seniors.

I have entered the seniors, which is for players aged 50+, with nine rounds over eight days, and a time control of 40 moves in 90 minutes, plus 30 minutes to finish and a 30-second increment from move one.

The 92 entries in the seniors can be seen at SE.
