We apologise for the delay in publishing our daily reports from Turin. The move to Italy on Monday was a slightly harrowing experience, getting settled down in the Olympic Village also not without its tense moments, and then the Internet – sufficient to say there is good access in the Village, but no FTP uploads that would allow us to post our reports from where we are working. We have to wait for the next day and use the network connection that is there for our Playchess coverage. More detailed lamentation will follow on the rest day (Thursday).
