After the quick play fun. Geoff Hindley UCU President handed-out the Certificates and prizes (including tickets to next years Simultaneous). The Summer tournament had been another success with plenty of chess, sacrifices, brilliant end-games and magnifient blunders and one or two slow draws. A fantastic way to spend a summer.....
