What a day! 16 teams of 4 players at Bangor Chess Club on Saturday 29 March for the Ulster Team Rapid Championships! Massive congratulations to the 7 Bangor home teams taking trophies home! And to best newcomer, 14 year old Saphira Torrens who scored an incredible 6/6

Many thanks to the brilliant Brendan Jamison for running and organising. The teams were ceded based on the rating of their top player. Then a Swiss 6 round tournament was run each team getting a 1 point for a team win 1/2 for a draw and 0 for a loss. Bangor Chess Club has become one of the largest and most active clubs in Ulster thanks manly to Brendan and the other organisers of Bangor Club.
