BOB DUNN SUMMER CHAMPIONSHIPS 2021

Four round Swiss: 60 minutes + 30 seconds

Well despite the pandemic or maybe because of it, we had a fantastic response to the summer tournament with 26 players taking part in round one. The match night was Mon 10^th May, 21, with a few matches played on other nights.

The first round used accelerated pairings as we only have four rounds to get a winner. The rest of the remaining three rounds will be ordinary pairings. Remember it`s 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. There were no big upsets as everything more or less went to grading form. Ed Walton (1482) got a draw against Ray Noble (1591), but apart from that nothing to talk about.

The second round draw is up on our website and the match night is Monday 21^st June 21, 7;30pm on Lichess.org. As we are online and if this date does not suit, players can contact their opponents and rearrange the date and time, as long as it`s played before or by the official match night!
