I am enjoying watching these games, some interesting chess being played. Well done to you for organising the event and thanks to the ECF for loan of the live boards without which it would pass unnoticed outside Muswell Hill :)

Absolutely! I am planning more of these events, just looking for some modest sponsorship as I have a venue in mind, one GM tournament planned for October half term!

Cherniaev-Wall & Villers-Wadsworth are well worth a look today for anyone who likes their chess to be a bit offbeat :wink:

Fingers crossed that the 6 & 5.5/7 can be converted into 6.5 or more.

This is certainly Conor's IM title, it may also be Maciej's?

Do you need someone to judge the brilliancy prize? Because I can do that if you send me a PGN of the games.

Thanks Jack! I believe the decision has been made and the prize was awarded to Conor Murphy for his win over Alexander Cherniaev. If you can post it here I would be most grateful
