This year's first two speed events, the Team Blitz and the Lightning, were held on 4th July and were extremely successful, reversing recent trends of decline in numbers. Both events were held at Ilford CC, the Team Blitz in the morning was held in the hall at Limewood Court, while the Lightning in the afternoon was held in the smaller room where Ilford play their League matches. These were very pleasant surroundings and we thank Ilford Chess Club and particularly Tom Barton, who managed our use of the premises during the day. Thanks also to Carol Franklin for running the refreshments. Finally, by no means least, thanks to Ivor Smith who controlled both events, with assistance from Ian Hunnable with the pairings software for the Lightning. Both these events are reported here - access via the menu bar on the left - together with picture galleries. The final speed event of the year, the Essex Rapidplay was a great success. As a break with previous year's events, this was made open to all and was held at Brentwood under the control of Gavin Strachan. As a result, four sections were possible with the Essex and North Essex titles being awarded to eligible players within the overall event. Our thanks to Gavin Strachan and Brentwood Chess Club. Once more, the details from the event can be accessed from the navigation pane, left, with picture gallery available from the event page. |
