I'm playing a chess tournament in Somerset near Burnie on Tasmania's north coast. There isn't a lot of spare time, but I did get to Doctors Rock near Wynyard. Absolutely glorious!
Not sure whether it was charity or the usual choking from Hikaru but Ding somehow manages to get a win in the Norway #Chess in Armageddon with the Black pieces saving the #Goat#Magnus from having to play tie-breakers for the title.
I was in a bookshop today but they didn't have the book I wanted. So I went to the desk to see if they could order it. While I was waiting I looked at a book on the counter called A Field Guide To Tasmanian Fungi and I thought what a great book to help ID all the species I see about. I wasn't going to buy it, though, until I noticed that I knew one of the authors, who besides being a mycologist, is a keen chess player.
