Naughty at Newcastle

Well so much for posting on that tuesday.......

Now a couple of comments from some of the tournaments i've played in.

Beep Beep! Beep Beep!

A chess players worst noise to hear when playing a tournament game.

At the newcastle open this year in the fifth round i forgot to turn mu mobile phone off before the start of the game..... and i received an sms from a friend of mine. I promptly resigned because i believe that the laws of chess should be strictly adhered to. The Arbiter was to far away to hear who's phone went off so had i not said anything the game whould have continued.

I would hope that if someone else breaks the rules and that their mobile phone goes off they would do the same.
