I never mind playing juniors, as I usually beat them.

Just win a pawn, they switch from having 4 pieces aimed at your king, to totally falling apartKevin Thurlow wrote:"In my experience the Sussex juniors are unfailingly well behaved in all respects other than appreciating that they shouldn't be trying to smash up their elders and evidently not betters..."
I only meant adults don't like playing juniors! So it's the second half of the sentence that applies...
Last junior I played at the British played a Catalan against me, I don't understand this world any longer

We're now up to 60 entrants already, which puts this event on course to be huge. I'm already trying to negotiate extra rooms!

As I suspected, this is going to be a big event. We're now at 150 entries, with 20 players graded over 200 in the Open. Having visited the hotel yesterday, the refurbishment is superb and I'm sure it's going to be a great event. I'll look forward to seeing a number of your there. I advise you to enter quickly because I'm sure we're going to sell out all the space that we have.Sean Hewitt wrote:We're now up to 60 entrants already, which puts this event on course to be huge.

By being unable to e-mail Sean unable do you mean you don't have a current e-mail address or that you aren't getting a reply?
