    Another draw in this tournament for me, this time against Tony Barnsley who I now have played four times against !. We was following the game Umansky - Berliner (E62) 1 - 0 (Chess mail 4/2003) where I "was Berliner". I tought first I could play the line 21.... Rxc3 22.Qh5 Rxc4 ( after 21.Qd1 ) but that was because I did not read longer down on the page 7 !. So it was a shock for me when I saw 23.Nd1 ! So then I started to look more on the possition after 15.Be3 and thought 16..... a5 was better than Re8  which Umansky proposed in Chess Mail. So after after that move could Tony not see any possibility to find any advantage for White. So he felt forced to agree a draw. Please see the table which is updated !.
