Coulsdon Congress, 1-2 September & Blitz, 27 August

Reports received from Scott Freeman

Running alongside the Coulsdon Congress this weekend was the hysteria of the Germany v England World Cup Qualifier with the Round 3 players woken from their slumber of playing no less than five times by distant drunken sounding roars from the group of those watching in the analysis area. The atmosphere in and out of the hall was great all weekend - the football just capped it superbly. The congress probably lost one or two entries because of the football; the Under 90 section ended up with just 7 players and by the end of round 3, they had all had a bye! Good fun for the arbiting team. Nonetheless it was a good weekend with some really tight matches. The prizes won were as follows:

OPEN - 14 Players 1 Simon Williams Richmond 4½ £200 2= Alexander Chernaiev Russia 3½ £ 37-50 Chris W Baker Coulsdon 3½ £ 37-50 Andrew Bigg Beckenham 3½ £ 37-50 Heather Richards Whitstable 3½ £ 37-50 u190 Tim Woodward Richmond Jun 2½ £ 12-50 Gavin Lock Crawley/Coulsd 2½ £ 12-50 Ian Snape Keston 2½ £ 12-50 Kenan Boztas Ashtead 2½ £ 12-50
