Re: U11 Junior Tournament in Oxfordshire
Thanks, Roger. It is indeed helpful and it is good to see that the 'supervised activities provided for children' category holds in all tiers.
I am still hopeful of going ahead while at the same time recognising that the government could announce pretty much anything over the next week in terms of policy.

Best of luck for tomorrow, Joseph.
Perhaps you could report back to the forum next week, as to how the tournament went.

Tournament ran successfully (I think) today. 13 children and we played 8 rounds. 1st Reya Li 7/8 2nd = Harry Bryant, Cian Ward 6.5/8. Special mention to 5-year old debutant Ayan Pradhan with 3.5/8.
Full results will go on UTUSwiss when I sort out some problems uploading them.

Great to know it went well! Thank you for helping the return of OtB.
Did you have more expressions of interest than the 13 who played?

Thanks Wadih - there were several withdrawals in advance (parents worried about the general rise in covid) and some enquiries which didn't translate to entries.
And also it was clear that there is a strand of opinion (from people who I respect even if I disagree with them) that over-the-board events should not be taking place at this time, whether or not they are allowed.
Once I have collected my thoughts I will write a longer post about junior events at the current time and ways they can take place, at the various levels of junior chess.

Regrettably, Lancashire is in Tier 3, which put off parents from travelling down to Oxfordshire.
Any interesting games or positions?
