Tournament Update: 2nd States and Regions

Russell Sherwood  Sunday, April 28, 2019

Despite the start date not being until the 1st of May, the play has been brisk with 8 games completed in the 1st Division and 34 in the Second. Unusually for modern Correspondence Chess over 50% of the games have been decisive.

The offer of Norms on all boards in this popular and well-received tournament seems to have prompted positive play and planning for the next renewal is underway, considering that enquires have already been received!

Still plenty of manoeuvring taking place. Stand out result so far is Sherwood - Vivante- Sowter 1-0, with some poison found in an off-beat Nimzo-Indian line, although still a while before this game becomes public!

Early days but Wes Wales Dragons (Jean, Scott, Denton and Smith) are  the standout team so far
