There were 10 players competing in the time and material competition and – surprise surprise – Qais Karimi won with a score of 7.5. Starting some games a piece up against players he’ll be meeting on level terms in next year’s Division 1 he was – to all but Alex Taylor who “smashed” him – a handful, and of course he was lucky against me as usual! (this assertion seems to be disputed by some?).
Thanks to Peter for organising.
This week it’s the fabulous chess variations – a chance to experience what chess might have been like if the rules had been ever so slightly different. Anyone who hasn’t tried them – give to a go, you’ll be astonished!
