One week of proper play left in the Summer Tournament

The last week of the Summer tournament is this week. Wednesday 21st Sept. What are the standings. Whos going to win...... Remember the last week 28th Sept will be prize giving and a quick play handicap times on the clock depending on the difference of the two players ratings - always fun.

We have had a brilliant summer with lots of top chess.

19 Rounds to date. Some 40 players, 216 games.

For full details see the results system : http://www.ulsterchess.org/competitions/competitions/comp-3032/cvt_event/standings/359#tabhead

The current standings - this doesnt include forfeighted points due to not playing 2 games in the last three weeks ( players are exempt if they have played 14 or more games).

The top section is lead by Sergio Sanchez who cant be beaten. Gareth Annesley is a close second but can only make a max of 70%.

The middle section is a fight off between Martin Kelly and C J Murphy.

Daniil Zelenchuk heads the lower section and the whole tournament. A brilliant position to be in.
