The 3 remaining matches in the 3rd Round of the Club Championship were due to be played last night. Unfortunately, Mike forgot he was playing (despite being reminded by both email and text !!!) and lost his game against Brian Birchall by default. In the other 2 matches, which were played, Robert West and Grenville Cross drew, while Max Launay beat Chris Brian. The upshot of this is that Robert and Brian lead the field on 2.5/3. The draw for the 4th Round should be made in the next day or so and these matches should be played either next Monday 24th July or the following Monday 31st July.
Merry Christmas From Everybody @ Fenton Chess Club
