Suffolk players Justin Tan and Adam Taylor are finding life tough in the Under 18 Open section of the World Youth Championships in Greece. After four rounds, Justin is on 2½ points and Adam is on 2.
Justin is yet to play an opponent who is higher-rated than him, having lost in Round 3 to a lower-rated player from Iran. However, if he can win the next few rounds, he should have an opportunity to challenge the top seeds in this eleven-round event. Today he plays an untitled Georgian opponent.
Adam has won both his games with White, but has lost his two Black games. Today he faces a lower-rated opponent from Armenia.
Live games can be viewed from 13.00 GMT daily (except tomorrow Friday, which is a rest day) here. Justin's game is on today's live boards.
Both Adam and Justin on 3/5 going into the rest Day.
