2nd Kingston Invitational (24-28 July 2023)
We are now able to confirm the details of, and fields for, the second edition of the Kingston Invitational:
https://kingstonchess.com/tournaments/
Thanks to all those who have agreed to take part. Apologies for the poor female representation. This was not for want of trying on my part. I promise to do better next year.
Thanks also to Lance Leslie-Smith for agreeing to act as tournament controller and Mark Hogarth for agreeing to act as arbiter.
One or two players in the end preferred to play at the British championship, but we were not unduly inconvenienced. I would, though, encourage the ECF to give as much notice of the dates for the British as possible, so other summer chess festivals such as ours can be organised around them.

Re: 2nd Kingston Invitational (24-28 July 2023)
The name "Will Taylor" (playing in the all-play-all event) seemed vaguely familiar and I've finally worked out why - he was the guy who started the Road to Grandmaster blog some twelve or so years ago:

Thanks Geoff. I'd forgotten about that thread. One of the last comments on it is by Mark Josse, who Will is playing at this very moment!
[Update] A win for Mark.

Re: 2nd Kingston Invitational (24-28 July 2023)
The late Andras Adorjan will be turning in his grave. Black most definitely wasn't OK in this morning's round of the Kingston Invitational. White scored 5-0 in the IM Norm section and 2-0 with 3 draws in the FIDE APA.

With two rounds left to play today, Conor Murphy leads the IM norm event with 6/7 ahead of Graeme Buckley on 5. The last outside chance of a norm was if Roland Bezuidenhout had won his final three games but he drew in round 7.

Thanks for these updates, John. Alongside the goings on in Leicester, it’s been a good week for us online chess addicts. +6 is a tremendous score by Conor Murphy.

Re: 2nd Kingston Invitational (24-28 July 2023)
Thanks, Graham. The Kingston tournament was really enjoyable and well-organised by Stephen Moss. As for Conor, he's an extremely talented player and close to clinching the GM title (it's thought he just needs to reach the required rating). Also, a very pleasant and personable young man.Graham Borrowdale wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2023 3:26 pmThanks for these updates, John.
