The club rapid kicked off last night. This years’ time control is a little longer than previous at 30 minutes plus 10 seconds. We have 34 players participating. The cross table after round one is below. Special mention to newcomer Joseph Hall who had winning chances against William Lynn. Eventually things simplified to a pawn and rook endgame and Joseph had to settle for a draw.
Games kick off at 7:30 next week but be there by 7:15 so we can do the draw. Do let Ian know if you won’t be playing as you can take a bye
