Good to see you playing chess again Simon.Simon Myles wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2023 2:18 pmAs some one who has fairly recently returned to competitive chess, I found today's round 3 games very entertaining and instructive. Even the one draw lasted over 90 moves!
It was a very strong team we had with yourself, Paul Heaton, Julian Sethrando, Ben Hague, Paul Isherwood and the Humble sisters.Simon Myles wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 11:54 amHi Simon, yes I was a team member on this trip back in 1990, though any competitions these days are much closer to home!
I played the Crewe open earlier this month, scoring 50% which felt ok. A weekend event for me in August is unlikely. I did enjoy following the live games from this Wood Green event, and am also looking forward to following the British about to start now with commentary via https://www.twitch.tv/gingergm or just the games via https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tourn ... 2023/1/1/1 and https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tourn ... open/1/1/1It was a very strong team we had with yourself, Paul Heaton, Julian Sethrando, Ben Hague, Paul Isherwood and the Humble sisters.
I believe Ben is now an FM in New Zealand and one of their top players.
I saw Steve Berkeley at Scarborough Congress the last couple of years.
Are you playing at Leyland Congress or Scarborough Congress?
