Summing Up Benidorm

MY score in the Benidorm (Meliá) U2000 of +3=3-3 should have seen me lose exactly 36 Fide elo.
However I was told by an official at a rival congress, being held at the same time in another part of the resort, that the tournament I was playing in had not been registered with the world chess federation and so will not be internationally rated.
There was further good news for me in that my final placing of 48th was enough to win one of 25 prizes of 150 euros for players staying at the venue hotel.
Christmas decorations tend to be restrained in Spain, at least compared with Britain
