The last Jurassic Blitz tournament of the season will take place on 5th April 2023 - please join us for some fast chess!
The Seaton Chess Club Christmas Social event took place on Wed 21st Dec 2022. Despite a slight initial hitch with the building not being open(!) the event was very well attended with 16 players. There was plenty of food and drink and a fun handicap blitz tournament was the main event of the evening. The handicap was based on the difference in opponent ratings and the higher rated player lost 1 point for every 100 points of rating difference. This means there were some extreme differences (more than a queen in some cases!) which really levelled the playing field.
The tournament was won decisively by Nicky Bacon with 7/7. Ian Gregory came 2nd with 5/7 and Graeme Wallace and Simon Polloni shared 3rd place with 4.5/5.
