We didn’t quite have the numbers to make the round robin feasible last night so had an evening of 3 + 2 blitz instead. There was an adult and a junior section. Special mention goes to JARVIS who won his first four games and was outright leader at that point. Unfortunately he dropped his next two gaims but still ended up first equal with Adam and Jeff on 5 points. Jarvis has gained 58 club rating points in his last 15 games, which is more than any other club player, so his chess is really coming along. In the adult division Richard Graham and Michael were first second and third respectively. Crossstables are below, and club ratings have been updated.
