Re: Hastings Congress
Maybe Merriman and Keetman will get drawn against each other in the next round?

Re: Hastings Congress
Good to see we have a Graham - Thorpe pairing today. I'm hoping not to get a duck today...

Re: Hastings Congress
This is worth a new thread - how about Moore - Payne?
Edit: Hmm - must have picked up the wrong entrants file, can't see them in the pairings for today.

Re: Hastings Congress
There is a rather Kardasianesque potential pairing between a female player from Oz and a 1694 rated player.
I'll leave it to those interested to work out!!

OK, I'll bite.
Khoo-Thwe v Butt, although Khoo-Thwe's federation is Norway rather than Oz.

Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.

Half right. The first player should be Drastik.Brian Towers wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 1:28 pmOK, I'll bite.

Re: Hastings Congress
Interesting game from Richard Bates, nice finish from Mark Lyell, and also artistic finish from Marc Bryant (who has done immense work for the tournament over the years)
Good stuff not limited to the above!

Re: Hastings Congress
Round 3 Petrov vs Petrov, White vs Fryer (I'm sure you're all aware that Whitefriars are an Order of Carmelites)
Ray Kearsley vs Tim Spanton is a much-awaited clash. They frequently visit the same tournaments. Will Tim offer a draw to his much-revered senior fellow-traveller? (No - ed.)

I was trying to give up that style of chess, but that style of chess seems to have other ideas.

Re: Hastings Congress
Nice finish for Richard Bates against Mark Hebden.
Ray Kearsley is probably frightening Tim Spanton on move 50.

Re: Hastings Congress
