6th Darnall & Handsworth Rapidplay

 

In the run-up to the event, Geoff Brown was a little concerned by the low level of entries in the Open, vaguely intimating in an e-mail on a different subject that the writer might perhaps like to enter!  I last played a game of chess on the 7th of March 2020 - sounds like Gamblers Anonymous - and to resume with 6 rapidplay games on the trot is traumatic as I know from experience when returning after an earlier break by playing in a team rapidplay fun event in Barnsley long ago.

 

Participants were indeed down by 26% on those of the 5th event which was held in March of this year.  United being at home to Everton (2-2) and Wednesday being away to Leeds United (0-0) may have reduced participation by local players.
