1st www.lorinchess.com Junior Invitational
34 of the strongest junior players descended on Muswell Hill for the 1st Junior Invitational, run by IM Lorin D’Costa. This was a 3 round slowplay event (1 hour each on the clock).
The event ran very smoothly and there were lots of exciting and interesting games. The level of play was very high, and many of the games went the full distance.
My thanks to Mr Michael Flatt for arbiting, and all parents who helped including Bernard Klingher to ensure the event ran as it did.
Games have been submitted for Grading, and should be included in the July 2015 Standardplay List.
