Max Pert, the U16 Championship having finished, gets a game as a filler in the main British Championship. Thus, we have IM Richard Pert and his twin brother GM Nick Pert, and Richard’s son and daughter, Max and Nina Pert; four players from the same family playing in a round of the British Championship simultaneously. Has this ever occurred before?

Day 10 – 28 July 2023
The last day of intense activity: while there is one more day in this year’s “British”, tomorrow is just the last round of the British Championship, the Major Open and the Seniors events.
Today also sees the last rounds in the Junior Championships, the AM and PM Weekday tournaments and the third Rapid (morning and afternoon).
In the event, the 3rd Rapid U1450 nearly produced Essex’ first winner this year. Sergey was leading at the start of the last round, but lost, so was overtaken for first place. Even so, it was a good event for Essex, with Sergey and Ashwin Gopikrishna sharing =3rd on 5½/7 and all Essex participants scored 50% or better.

British Championship – Round 7: 14:30
British Championship live games on chess.com – multi-board view
Richard’s game turned into a 125 move marathon. He let a winning advantage slip and, while Richard was still the exchange to the good, his efforts to revive his winning chances led to a position on move 74 in which all the pawns had disappeared and it was Richard’s rook against White’s bishop. Table base analysis reports 82% the draw, while only an 18% chance of the bishop losing and that includes moves which simply put the bishop en prise. The one factor in Richard’s favour was the clock: both players were within their last five minutes (plus increments); easier to play the attack than the defence. Richard tried to induce an error from White until, at move 125, he concluded that White knew how to defend this ending, even with short time.

Day 6 – 25 July 2023
Just the Weekday AM sections this morning.
But the action hots up in the afternoon with the start of the five Junior sections. Lots of talented Essex stars here.
The second of three Blitz events will be held this evening, nine rounds of G3+2
2nd Blitz
Nina was entered for the blitz but had a long game in the Major Open, which finished close to or even overlapped the start time for the Blitz. She was afforded a half point bye in each of the first two rounds, but naturally was not wanting to follow a 4½ game with a G3+2 9-Round blitz, so understandably withdrew.
Max had an excellent tournament, reaching Board 1 in R5 and losing only the two games against titled players (an IM and an FM), for a final score of 6/9 and a spectacular performance rating of 2159 (+545 over his starting blitz rating of 1614).
Here’s the link to the 2nd Blitz Open live games

Day 5 – 24 July 2023
All change! Well, almost all. The Championship and the Major Open are here for the duration, but the Weekenders have finished to be replaced by the AM and PM Weekday tournaments and the two Senior age groups. So lots of action.
If that’s not enough for you, there is also the second of the Rapid events, this one in the afternoon/evening at the fast rapid rate of G10+5, for seven rounds. The website will not be attempting to keep up with this fast moving event, so we’ll add the results retrospectively. Here are the links to the BCC Pairings and results. The Essex players involved are listed to the bottom of the right side panel, this page.
2nd Rapid links: 2nd Rapid Open | 2nd Rapid U1750 | 2nd Rapid U1450
Tomorrow, the Junior age groups get added to the mix!

Round 4 – 09:15
Max wins a hairy game in which he gave up two rooks for queen and pawn. The Black rooks and two minor pieces then got stuck into the exposed White king and hounded it across the board, without being able to deliver a finish. Max’s 47 Bg4 put the cat among the pigeons and, now in acute time trouble, Black crumbled, with blunders on successive moves, first dropping a bishop then a rook and Max delivered mate after eight more moves.

Not much joy here. Ryan Colclough continued his winning habit from a remarkable season for Wanstead, the other Ryan drew and Zoe had a half point bye, but the other three all lost. Perhaps they’re morning players?

21 JULY RAPID U1750
Round times – 10:30, 11:40, 12:50, 14:00, 15:10, 16:20, 17:30.
Round 7: A slip in the opening cost Shrishti a pawn, which White carried through to win the K & P ending. So a disappointing end to a tiring day, but Shrishti can be happy with her day’s work. Outrated in every game, ranging between 199 and 305 points, she has a good rating performance, which was 1541 (+99) after R6 slipping to 1491 (+49) after R7.
Round 6: A nice solid draw from a Sicilian. Shrishti gets her score moving again, playing smoothly and quickly. One round to go.
Round 5: Shrishti is Black in a cut-and-thrust King’s Gambit in which White sacrifices a knight (8 Nxg5) for the attack. When White regains the piece with 13 Qxb7 Rb8 14 Qxc6, Shrishti has a sound defence in 14 …Ne7! with advantage, but fails to find it and is mated a few moves later. Rotten luck; she played a good game and might have gone on to another win with 14 …Ne7.
Round 4: Shrishti gets her first win over-the-board when her opponent, rated 305 points higher, puts a bishop en prise. For the piece Black has counterplay and the initiative, but Shrishti keeps her head to see off the challenge; this win will give her heart.
