17/04/2021 Latest Rotherham Online Classical Event (A report by Peter Catt)
Premier
Britain's leading blind player Chris Ross emerged triumphant in a very hard fought Premier Division in the latest Rotherham Online classical (30mins+30secs per move increment) competition.
Each of the players in the 10-man top tournament suffered at least one loss before Ross clinched victory with a last-round win over Sheffield's Oskar Hackner to finish on 4/5.
Northampton-based Ross, who also plays for Darnall and Handsworth in the Sheffield League and York RI in the Woodhouse Cup, sustained his only defeat at the hands of Grantham's Paul Cumbers in round three.
Second on tie-break was SASCA's Deji Jeje with York's Richard Allis third, both three and a half.
