MCB Halloween Tournament 2005

This annual Tournament is held annually in Methody and coincides with the first stage of the UK Chess International, an event organised by Michael Basman.

Six rounds of matches were played between eleven players, on a Swiss format. Although we were disappointed with the relatively low turn out, a good time was had by all and it was enjoyable first experience of competitive chess for some of our first form participants.
