Omagh Rapidplay 2019
With a brilliant venue and a reasonably quick drive from Belfast (its always good to play outside of Belfast- meeting new players). I arrived with Brendan Jamison, Adam Rushe and Geoff Hindley - all ready to play the 6 rounds of chess with time control of 25mins. There were 13 players in the top section and 10 in the Junior section.
Brendan did a excellent job of running the tournament. Thanks also to John Bradley for organising the event.
