Frome Congress 2023

Post by John Upham » Mon May 15, 2023 10:02 am

I was hoping to follow my students progress in the 2023 edition of the Frome Congress but failed miserably

Neither

https://chess-results.com/

nor

http://results.utuswiss.co.uk/

or even

https://www.chessmanager.com/en

were able to help.

There is something called "Vaguer Chess" which might have been used.

Can anyone help?

I think you mean Vega.

It can certainly supply comprehensive results, as shown by last year's event

I replaced the 2022 with 2023 and it seems to have this year's results - I don't think this was widely known before and I understand the congress may change to Chess Results next year. But a very successful congress with over 200 players.
