The 4th Sheffield Chess Centre Rapidplay took place on Saturday May 24th at Sheffield Chess Centre, 329A Coleford Road, Sheffield, S9 5NF, with two sections, Open and Under 1700.

Capacity was limited nominally to 64 due to space limitations. There was a good spread of entries in terms of geography, meaning it was by no means a “local” event.

Results were as follows. The Under `1700 was evidently closely contested, with two players sharing first two places then eight players sharing third place!
