It's here and now, if you want it and can stand having to start again once you lose the link,
Chess 24 Carlsen-Caruana
Having been glued to this esoteric irrelevance since I got home, I thought I got home in time to see Carlsen make the decisive move but he failed to find the way through. But, now, grinding it out as he does, 1-0 isn't over until it's over.
I'm mainly only on his side because I said he was a sound bet at 1/3.
Interesting to hear commentator Grischuk's baby crying in the background while he's on Skype. And his deeply Russian attitudes. All he knows of Michael Jackson is Thriller, which is a very good reason to be older than him and not a chess specialist.
Meanwhile, I arrived at 1893 for 10 minute games at Chess 24 and am now like Achilles in his tent, unwilling to take part. I'll wait until I feel like playing, pick a likely opponent to take 7 points off and be 1900+ at both disciplines, which flatters me outrageously but will be officially true.

- David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I published booklets of my own poems. The original allocation of ISBN numbers is used up now, though. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become, often more about music than books and not so often about poems. It will be about whatever suggests itself.
