The Counties Rapidplay at Spondon on 28th September was a disappointing event. Only Derbyshire with 2 teams and Warwicks could organise teams from the Midlands. The event was won by Yorkshire I with 41 point from 60 ahead of Essex with 38½ , Warwickshire 34½ , Derby I 28½ , Bedford and Yorkshire II with 26 and Derby II with 17½. The Roy Woodcock Cup was won by his own county Warwickshire with an adjusted score of 30½, from Yorkshire II on 30, Yorkshire I on 29, Essex and Derby I on 26½, Bedford 22 and Derby II on 21½.
The surplus will be divided equally between the MCCU, Braille Chess and the English Deaf Chess Association.
Grateful thanks are due to Bert Loomes for the use of an excellent venue at Spondon, and for his and other Derbyshire players assistance.
