I will post the results of each match in this thread and post the standings after each round of matches.

If you install TLCV (Tom's Live Chess Viewer) on your computer, you can watch the games live move by move. You'll also be able to chat to others following the tournament in the chatroom there.
http://home.pacific.net.au/~tommyinoz/client.zip
Host - GrahamCCRL.dyndns.org Ports - 16053 and/or 16002

The games are also being broadcast in Playchess and can be viewed by installing the free client here:
http://en.chessbase.com/pages/download

http://cumnor-chess-server.com/liveches ... s-Live.php is another live broadcast option.
Just click "live games" button then click "clear all" then click "Grouping" then "result" then hi-light game and click "Watch games" button. Seems the only way to watch the games you want to watch. There is also chatwing.
