1 Bd 2. Originally given as "K Kay", in accordance with result sheets received, but it turns out it really was J(onathan). There is no known K Kay. 2 Bd 11. Actually 132. He’s in the September amendments list. Don’t know how often this list gets overlooked, or how often it matters. It is confirmed that the player really is Jones, Keith S of Wanstead and Willesden. There are ten K Joneses on the active list. Some people give full names sometimes.

A player remarks: "About three hours into the match a mobile phone went off, so I take it that it had been left on throughout the match. The owner had left it in his bag at the board, and, as he was away from the board when it rang, its objectionable tones could not be muted straight away. He couldn't be defaulted as his game had already finished, so it was left to us still in play to suffer from it."
