Fischer Random 2015 Begins

It was a disappointing turnout for the annual Fischer Random event on Thursday, with many more players signing up for the parallel Ordinary Chess Rapid Tournament. It seems that our average chess player does not like to be taken too far out of his comfort zone. Interestingly our top three players (Russell, Anthony, Nic) signed up for Fischer Random, as did our most active female players (Layla, Beate, Sarah). What this signifies, I cannot possibly tell you.

With only 10 players, the traditional Ker-Dive fixture that normally takes place towards the end of a Swiss tournament, actually took place in round 2, and it was decided in Anthony's favour. Nic also has maximum points after 2 rounds.

And here, as a bit of a rarity, we have a full Fischer Random game, courtesy of Troy Lamerton (thank you Troy!)
