Lockdown Summer Tournament: weeks 4 - 6

The Summer drop in tournament continues. With a couple of new players and plenty of good chess. Read on for results and current scores.

We have some 17 players and so far 6 rounds with 31 games. Its good to get a chess board in front of you and play some slow chess. I miss the person facing me but the game still throws some complex and challenging positions.

The tournament has the same rules as our previous Summer tournaments - you can just drop in and play a game on a weds evening. Or play regularly and if you play over 10 games you qualify for the tournament - although due to circumstances there is no financial reward - just certficates and the pleasure of doing well.
