Members play in Malakoff

Neil Berry — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:33:02 +0000

4 club members were in a 6 player group of Scots that played in the 9th Malakoff Open in Paris in April. Due to a certain volcano disturbing our travel plans, the Scots arrived late and were paired against each other! A further derby match Berry v Oswald took place in round 5.

Andrew Green took the scalp of Kozhuharov (2419) to round off a fine tournament on 6/9. Neil Berry also scored 6. David Oswald won the under 2000 Grading Performance Prize with his score of 5.5. Clement Sreeves scored 4.5.

Edinburgh Congress – members in action

Neil Berry — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:17:22 +0000

A number of club members participated in the recent Edinburgh Congress (April 2-4), and not without success…

We made a clean sweep of the prizes in the Bishops tournament, with our SNCL Captain John Smith winning outright on 4.5/5. Mike Scott (4) was second, and Ben He (3.5) won the grading prize. We also picked up several other grading prizes through Calum MacQueen, Jonny Scott and Shivan Murdochy in the Premier, Andrew Masters and Mark Sanderson in the Challengers and Callum McGillvary in the Knights.

Club Members amongst the prizes in Perth

The Perth 800 International Chess Festival took place on January 29-31. I made the number of players from the club present to be 14 - apologies if I missed anyone! Pride of place must go to Tiger Cub Sam Gregory who shared second place in the Challengers event, and first team member Clement Sreeves won the junior prize in the International Open.
