The Burnie Chess Club is currently conducting a rapid event - Lindsay Atkinson Memorial. There are 19 players ranging form novice to 1600. Rate of play 25'+5".
Once again the short time controls lead to some seesawing games and missed opportunities. Kevin Hendrey, Dyalan Kuzmic, Carey Kuzmic, Dragan Radosavljevic, Vincent Horton, David Hughes,and Charlie Smith all managed 2 points on the night. In an important duel Phil Donnelly and Vincent, under serious time pressure both missed mate in one in the attack and defence - a draw resulted. 3 players have emerged from the pack as leaders -Phil 13.5/16 with 1 game remaining; Dragan 13/15 with 2 remaining; Vincent 12/14 with 3 remaining.
Tonight the last games in the Lindsay Atkinson were played. Carey held tough against Ashton before Ashton erred and Carey gave a relieving sigh. Carey won a piece against Charlie and finished an up and down tournament. Phil Donnelly and Dragan R tied for first with 14.5 with Vincent Horton on 13. The Robert Isted starts in two weeks. Two divisions with guest presentations training starting at 6:45 and games at 7pm - enter on the night.
