Isle of Man International Masters

Rudolf Tirziman & Luke Scott are using their passports again by entering the Isle of Man tournament this week. They are seeded 132 and 124 respectively in a very strong field.. We wish them both well as they do battle with the likes of Hou Yifan, the women’s World Champion, Peter Leko, Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So, Hikaru Nakamura, Michael Adams , Alexei Shirov, Alexander Lenderman, Laurent Fressinet and many other titled players. In fact, out of the entry of 135, only 32 are not titled….so….no pressure then lads! Enjoy yourselves and we’d love to see the games when you’re back. Hope  the haircut’s improved Luke.
