Linton & Academy Success in Cambs Rapidplay

Six Linton and ten Academy players competed in the 19th Cambridgeshire Rapidplay at Whittlesford on 29 September. The outstanding performance was by Linton’s James Cole who shared first place in the Open tournament with 4/5, including a fine sacrificial win against international Master Alan Merry in the final round.

In the Intermediate Tournament Thomas Sha swept to victory with 5/5. In the Minor tournament Guy Parsons scored 4/5, sharing second place and completing our trio of prizewinners. Congratulations to them all.

Other players who scored over 50% and deserve an honourable mention were Linton’s Konrad Scheffler (3/5) in the Major tournament , and Academy members Ivan Yu (3/5) in the Challengers, Ray Lee (3.5/5) and Elliot Lingard (3/5) in the Minor. All four of them won either a rating prize or a junior (age) prize.
