2021 / 2022 Tournament

Tony Purser has announced the start of this year’s club championship.

The competition for 2022 will consist of five rounds played on Lichess website.  Games must be played as rated games, with a time control of 45 minutes plus 15 second increments.

As far as possible, the online league rules will apply.  These can be found on the Shropshire Chess Association website. Players with white should initiate the date and time for the challenge.

A half point incentive will be awarded to each player completing their game within the scheduled time slot for each round.

Final playoff completed

Tony Purser, tournament controller, writes: “Congratulations to Francis on retaining his club championship title following the playoff deciding game versus Dan (see game here). Well played to both for playing the match in an aggressive and interesting manner.

“Francis was undefeated throughout and Dan won all of his games except the one with Francis to finish a very worthy runner up.

“A special mention to Stephen Priestley for another excellent performance, also creditable displays from Peter, Norman and myself who all finished on five points.

“Thanks to everyone who took part and enjoyed the competition.”

This year’s tournament saw players awarded an extra half point for playing their games before the round deadline. All of these deadlines were met, meaning Best and Lockett ended on 6.5, Priestley 5.5 for his 3/5 and Kitchen, O’Connor and Purser five points for scoring 2.5/5.
