Back to England.........

But the trip was not a waste of time. Plenty of sun, swimming and even a few sangrias. I even managed to do some chess as well! GM Simon Williams was excellent company, and I learnt quite a bit of chess from him during the trip, which I hope to put to good use in future tournaments.

Speaking of future tournaments during the trip the World Under 16 Olympiad was confirmed so I'm looking forward to that, as well as filling my schedule for November with two closed GM tournaments in Hungary and Poland.

Next stop is Spain again though-flying to Madrid on 8 October for the Second Oliver Gonzalez Memorial. The homepage is here
