Summer Tournament 2019

 The 2019 Summer Lightening Tournament was held on Tuesday 13th July. There were 18 entrants, three of whom came from our Junior Club.

 Ten seconds were allowed per move, as signaled by a buzzer  - three short bleeps followed by a long bleep on which each move must be made.

 The Tournament was held over five rounds, using the Swiss System in which winners play winners and loosers play loosers - thus the "cream" rises to the top and players with similar scores play each other, but never more than once.

 


The winner was Carl Kennedy, who won all five of his games; with Chris Kaye being the runner up.

2nd Team win Division 4!

  Southport 2nd team got the same number of match points as the runners-up Aigburth 3, but had half a point more board points.  So every single win and draw were a vital contribution for the title.  This is a particularly good result as Southport hasn't had a  2nd team for a few years and it has only been possible to reinstate the team this season because of the new members who joined us after the Covid lockdowns.
