Swiss Pairs Championship (Restricted <300 MPTS).

This annual event proved a winner, yet again. It is an opportunity for up and coming players, while competing against those of similar ability, to accumulate some of those much sought after masterpoints.

The game was played over consecutive Wednesday afternoons with three, six board matches played each day. A field of sixteen pairs committed to play. The significance of the Swiss movement is that your next opponent is decided by your score from the previous round. So winners play winners and losers play losers. You never play against the same pair twice. Points are awarded after each round.

Congratulations to winning pair Faith Ross and Elaine Hume.  And thanks to Director Peter Hume who kept the event proceeding successfully.
