Today the two editors doggy and forest had a very unfortunate pairing. We had to play each other. The game was a quick and correct draw, which gave us time to get back to (photo) journalism (yesterday we were both playing a long ending). So now already some pictures of today, the fifth round in the amateur and open group and the third in the crown group.
