Catching up on congress results in the last few months – we start with the Oban Congress held in November; one of the most scenic venues of the events calendar with views over to the island of Mull.
A number of members went over to the congress. Mike Ridge and our president Neil Berry (FM) played in the Open, with Neil finishing third equal on 3½/5, behind two IMs: Andrew Greet was the winner on 4½/5 and Mark Orr was on 4/5.
In the Challengers, Robert Kane achieved second place with a score of 4/5 with Benjamin Ridge scoring 3/5 (sixth equal) followed by Keith Aitchison with 2.5/5.
