The Mind Sports Olympiad 2011 will be run this year at the University of London union, United Kingdom. There will be a Twixt tournament on the 25th August. There will also be World Championships in Lines of Action, Pacru and many other games.

The MSO 2011 will run from Aug 20-28. Full details are available at www.boardability.com. Please see that website or send me a message for further details. It would be good if some enthusiasts who play here were able to make the trip.

Are the logs of the games (what moves they made) public anywhere?

Not as far as I know, Thnikkaman, but I will ask the organiser. This is one of the drawbacks to over-the-board tournament Twixt. The notation system with a large board is unfortunately prone to multiple transcription errors if the game is not played at a slow tempo. Some games, like Entropy, are just about impossible to transcribe accurately even if a 3rd party writes down the moves.

I have checked with the organisers and unfortunately no game scores are available. The games were played at a fairly brisk tempo (I think 30 minutes per player) and it was not possible to annotate the games.
