Re: Blackpool 2017
Quite normal for Blackpool I think - the field in the Open is just a bit big for a 5 round open to produce a strictly reliable winner. A good sort of problem to have really!NickFaulks wrote:Bit odd that Storey didn't have to play anyone 200+, if you don't call the last round a game.

Great tournament, and I'd have liked to have made it 3 wins on the bounce ( from my POV) , but it's so bloody expensive, so I settled for the easy pickings of Exeter instead, only to find it.....wasn't easy pickings!

He lives in Paignton so the train travel would be considerably more not to mention an extra nights accommodation on Sunday.Nick Burrows wrote:Which part is expensive?Keith Arkell wrote:Great tournament, and I'd have liked to have made it 3 wins on the bounce ( from my POV) , but it's so bloody expensive, so I settled for the easy pickings of Exeter instead, only to find it.....wasn't easy pickings!

Re: Blackpool 2017
The Quiet Move is a new chess website set up by Andrew Sainsbury, who plays for Chorlton Chess Club in Manchester and recently appeared in Jon Speelman's 'Chess Agony Column'. Andrew is doing his arbiter courses and I expect he was at Blackpool as part of the arbiting team.Chris Rice wrote:Analysed in the Quiet Move (never heard of it before), Peter Wells in blistering form.Leonard Barden wrote:Nice tactic in Merry v Wells, destined to appear in the Evening Standard column.
