Play is underway about half an hour late, due to registration delays.

We are playing in a brand-new facility, the newly constructed Luzzu Conference Centre, across the street from the Seashells Resort here in Qawra. We are taking up the whole building, using one long room to play in, one for people to sit/chat/relax in or check the pairings, and one for tea/coffee/refreshment service.

This round's video stream features Vincent Boyle (Sco) vs. Albert Zammit (MLT).
