No, norm chance has sadly disppeared. Very unlucky.
By the way, can he now be drawn against either player again?

Mm, Jack 20 minutes down on the clock. That doesn't happen very often. Mind you, Dan Fernandez also plays very quickly.

Re: British Championship Congress 2019
Mr Palliser should probably have his entry fee returned. He could not be blamed if he chose to withdraw.

Nice win for U13 Jacob Yoon against CM Thomas Villiers, who was last years Major Open winner possibly.

Looks like 11 Kd3 is forced. The whole game looked a bit random and played very quickly, particularly by Tom Villiers.NickFaulks wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 3:59 pmI wonder what he had planned after 10...Bb4.Matt Bridgeman wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 3:53 pmNice win for U13 Jacob Yoon against CM Thomas Villiers, who was last years Major Open winner possibly.
