Jonathan Spicer played very well and is one of the last to finish. Keith Hodder looks on, with Greg Lowe who kindly agreed to be match referee.
Matthew Kirk has to resign eventually and shakes Veselin Topalov's hand, but he held out for a long time.
John Cummins is the last to finish and gets the draw he deserves. ECU President Silvio Danailov studies the position with Veselin Topalov.
At last someone laughs at one of Fred's jokes, but only under duress with a camera on them. Silvio Danailov was here to give his presentation for Chess in Schools to the States of Guernsey Education dept.
