February Frolics #1 2021 Results

Updated March 9th, 2021

The First February Frolics was Fabulous

The numbers were slightly down on previous weeks but the number of new and returning players was fantastic. It was delightful to see two ex-students from Walford, Kate Caddy (nee Morrissey) and Rosie Gabb, coming and having a go – along with players like Michael Lazarou, an ex-Grange PS student – the interest remains!

It’s interesting how many people are turning up and playing in these events to see how the rating they have on Chess.com etc compares with that of regular club players – and the answer is very well – these tournaments are amazingly strong – and fun!

Open

The Open was won by Nikola Markovic and Edgar Mdinaradze and equal third were Dino Cinco and Roger Both. Mathew Drogemuller was unlucky not to clean up Edgar in the penultimate round.
