4 of our young players make their FIDE blitz debuts in the July rating list

Brendan Jamison has been a driving force to get as many of our local players onto the FIDE rating ladder. So far in 2022, he has held 12 FIDE rated events during Jan-May and has many more planned for Sept-Dec. This remains his top passion within the local chess scene and each month sees about 4 new local players appear on the FIDE rating lists.

 

For this month’s rating list, the following 4 competed in the Newry Chess Festival, a 3 day extravaganza which saw an U1800 classic, a simul, a blitz and a bullet competition.
