Swinton Academy July Rapidplay

 ,

This was a 2-section 6-round rapidplay held on Sunday 12th July 2026 at Fletcher Hall, Vicarage Road, Swinton, M27 0WA.

 

The top section was an open.  The other section was for players rated under 1600 and was described on the entry form as the Major whereas on chess.Resuts.com it was billed as the Minor.

 

Entrants were mainly from the local area, though some perennial congress-goers from further afield entered.

 

Advertised prizes were:

Open

1st £200

2nd £100

U-1600

1st £200

2nd £100

 

 

Round-by-round games results, with final placings ordered by Sum of Opponents’ Scores (not necessarily used by the organisers), were as follows.
