Remote Spring Tournament
19th - 21st March 2021
We normally hold a five round swiss event in the spring to coincide with our annual general meeting. The pandemic made this impossible and so we held a remote tournament instead. Games were played using Skype, Zoom, Lichess, Facetime, WhatsApp and telephone.
ELO grades were used and all competed in one event but there was a Challengers Prize for the highest-placed player graded 1450 or below.
Here are the players, with their ELO or estimated ELO grades. Paul Benson (1930); Steve Hilton (1696); Steve Burnell (1818); Norman Wragg (1713); Stan Lovell (1615); Richard Murphy (1615), Steve Thacker (1450), Malcolm Jones (1315); Mahendra Galani (1336); Voldi Gailans (1285); Bittor Ibanez (1263); Steve Bailey (1180), Gill Smith (1083); Tony Lawton (1060); Simon Highsmith (1050).
Congratulations to Paul, overall winner, and Bittor, winner of the Challengers Prize, on their fine performances.
8 points were given for a win or forced bye, 4 for a draw or requested bye, and 1 for a loss.
