No, but you missed I won a grading prize too
Actually, more important to me is that I won my first graded game for 20 months
and then won the next 2 as well
More significant is that the Rapidplay made a profit, and the ECF should have some new silver members

78 played
50 were ECF Silver or above
11 were Bronze now upgraded to Silver
17 were non-members
2 insisted they were already Silver members and the ECF database was incorrect or out of date
I'm guessing at least 1 of the 2 has joined via an MO

This year's Bury Rapidplay on Sunday 2nd December at Elton Vale Sports Club was a great success. Despite the recent weather problems and other conflicting congresses, around eighty competitors contested three separate sections over six rounds in pursuit of more than £900 in prize money.
The JonSimon Open Championship was won by Adam Ashton of Urmston & 3Cs (Oldham), with Simon Woodcock (Atherton) taking second. Grade prizes were won by Joe McPhillips (Bolton), Mitchell Burke and Jamie Horton (both of 3Cs).
The Major (under 170 grade) Section first prize was shared by Brendan Brown (Clitheroe), Dominic Rabbitte (Heywood) & Neil Coward (Blackpool) with six players including Bury's Mick Norris sharing grading prizes.
The Minor (under 130 grade) Section was won by Evan Wood (Chorlton), who beat Dennis Davies (Lytham) into second place after a ding-dong battle, with Howard Hughes (Chorlton) and Jennifer Neil (Bolton) winning grading prizes.
The President's Junior Prize was won by Brandon Hall (3Cs), and the Ludwig Gruchlik trophy for the best score by a Bury member went to Mick Norris.
Particular thanks go to sponsors JonSimon Estate Agents for their support of the event.

President, Bury Chess Club
