- U100 19.3.05 (bare match scores) Middx 5 7 Kent; Essex 5 6 Surrey with - now of all times - one QPF draw claim. By Surrey, of course, so the match is undecided. And a nomination with it: one of them must tie with Kent for first place. But the championship at least is decided, for Kent have a winning tie-break score against either.

- BCF Schools. Another SCCU success
- We have just learnt that the final version of the new FIDE Laws (taking effect 1.7.05) has been downloadable from the FIDE website for the last six days. So we downloaded it. Startlingly, a new rule introduced in the original version has disappeared. This is the innovation which occupied us so much in November (click here if you're interested in what we said at the time, and we labelled it Change 5). We cannot say, without further checking, whether there are other modifications of substance.
