I hope that you are looking forward to a well attended Western Masters series.

The Western Masters will be played over 5 weeks from 21 June. If you will be away week 1 or will be late arriving please advise Steven so he can include you in the pairings. The event is a round robin, played over 5 weeks with players paired with opponents with a similar rating as follows:

  • Western Masters Round Robin – Players 1 to 6
  • Western Major Round Robin – Players 7 to 12
  • Western Minor Round Robin – Players 13 to 18
  • Western Swiss – Remaining Players

 If you are unavailable for a week, this can be accommodated as we will have a week off for lightning between rounds 4 and 5. Players are free to play catch-up games that evening.

Please see attached the results for Tuesday and next week’s pairings. Dean and Tony are neck and neck. And a word from our President:

I’d like to take the opportunity to thank the several players who advised me in advance they were unwell and unable to make chess. This is greatly appreciated and allowed the evening to run smoothly. I wish those players who are unwell a speedy recovery. I will be on holiday this week. Casey and Tony have kindly agreed to run the club on Tuesday.
