A weblog covering my participation in the 2004 BCC Club Championship Tournament -- games, standings, background, impressions, pre-game preparation, analysis of adjourned positions, etc.
MacIntyre has lost. See Capablanca's "Dreamland" piece below:
"There have been many times in my life when I came very near thinking that I could not lose even a single game. The I would be beaten, and the lost game would bring me back from dreamland to earth. Nothing is so healthy as a thrashing at the proper time, and from few won games have I learned as much as I have from most of my defeats. Of course I would not like to be beaten at a critical moment, but, otherwise, I hope that I may at odd times in the future lose a few more games, if thereby I derive as much benefit as I have obtained from defeats of the past."

P.S. The game between Martirosov and Williams was drawn.
