2nd Warwick University Rapidplay Tournament, Saturday 16th February 2019 (ECF & FIDE rated)

[Roger de Coverly]

This year we had the novelty of being asked to provide assistance to compile a risk assessment, which involved the captain filling in a form disclosing how he would handle situations such as a player missing a train, or a player dealing with the emotional distress of losing their game.

If you really wanted to get down to detail, players would be asked to fill out a risk assessment of their opening choices with perhaps particular attention to the King's Gambit, the Morra and the Blackmar. Equally if they were much the stronger player, a risk assessment of drawing rather than winning with the London system.
