BBC (TNI??) demonstrating misinformation on the News an hour or so ago with the newsreader twice referring to Biden's meeting in Dublin with President 'Peter' Higgins.

A favour everyone. I do all I can to hold this Government to account but it seems Twitter has again taken a dislike to my films & reports. If you think more should be watching my films than GB news please RT & keep following. Let’s hold this shower to account TOGETHER

@nigelshortchess Fish or sharks?

@DMUSpecialColls @ecfchess @LibraryDMU @ICSHC @ArchiveHashtag @explorearchives Once upon a time, before computers and ChessBase, we used to use these in conjunction with two stamp pads (usually red and black) to create chess diagrams on pre-printed diagram blanks. These could then be pasted into our typescripts.

@Arwenstar Bordeaux Town Hall has not been burned down. Unfortunately, the 18th Century doors to the courtyard have been carbonized beyond repair. Little or no other damage.

@_SandraWindsor @Peston Why can't (or won't) people (English only?) get it through their heads that Eire is the Irish language name for the country; in English, it is simply Ireland, so if you want to use Eire, please write as Gaeilge.

@GMjtis Things have certainly changed, especially the inflation of personnel since I did all of that on my own there three decades ago.

@teotsorb @ECUonline @euroclubcup @FideChess Where is it possible to see this online? Official site has no video.

[Kevin O'Connell @kochess_FST]

@TelegraphChess Miserable - no video and a board that flashes back and forth between initial position and current(?) position...

[Kevin O'Connell @kochess_FST]

@MarkTWIC How do you know? Where is working?

[Kevin O'Connell @kochess_FST]

Anyone know - has the game started? worldchess shows nothing & chess24 just 'Houston we have a problem'!

[Kevin O'Connell @kochess_FST]

Seems I haven't missed anything. I was relying on the countdown clock on the broadcast site - it reached 0.0.0 at 1pm NY instead of 2pm!!

[Kevin O'Connell @kochess_FST]

Still nothing on https://t.co/jiDOraHAh7 - has game started? is there a delay?

[Kevin O'Connell @kochess_FST]

yone know when the transmission will start on https://t.co/jiDOraZb8F?

[Kevin O'Connell @kochess_FST]

Surprised there's nothing to see yet (less than 10 mins to go) with the $15 package on https://t.co/jiDOraHAh7
