Sheffield
Chess Centre Rapidplay
Saturday
16th December 2023
This one-day
6-round rapidplay was originally stated to be limited to 64 entrants, but,
in the event, there were 72 participants: 24 in the Open, 28 in the Under-1750
section, and 20 in the Under 1300 section. (See more details
here.)
Roughly half the entrants
were from Sheffield & DCA clubs, but the others were drawn from more
distant areas, showing that relatively new Sheffield Chess Centre is succeeding
in establishing itself as congress venue.
Final cross-tables
were as follows:
