Re: Shropshire Chess congress 2018
Well done on another great event.
Jeremy Fallowfield is certainly getting his money's worth in terms of opposition!

Re: Shropshire Chess congress 2018
Thanks Jonathan
Yes, Jeremy Fallowfield had a good run and has only just slipped off the live boards for next round. All set for an exciting final day in the Open with Sophie Milliet and Alan Merry joint leaders on 3/3 paired for round 4, and a hungry pack following.

Re: Shropshire Chess congress 2018
An intriguing poisition on board 2 this morning. The king march doesn't look like a voluntary one (IMHO).
Also some fiery stuff on board one as the joint leaders both chase the full point.

Try inputting the psiion after 35 Rxa7 in Millet v Merry, and asking viewers the nicer win that Black missed in his time trouble!
