British Chess Championships

Today is the first day of the British Chess Championships. This week John and I will play in the under 125 section, and next week the under 100. We took 4 chess dvds with us to South Africa, and watched none of them! However, we did play some internet chess when we could and a couple of games on the last day. Not enough I fear.

Both of us played higher graded opponents this morning. John lost and I drew! Same start as last year. Otherwise the results seemed to go mainly with grade. I had a long but interesting game, with my opponent getting short of time coming up to both time controls. I didn't expect to win, but was more than happy with a draw.
