This took place on Sunday 18/07/2021. Entries were again lower than hoped, perhaps due to the hot weather, so two of the venues had only 4 players, whilst the third had 5. Six players per venue would give more rounds (of chess, not beer).

Relatively low numbers meant some players had to be paired who had met previously, but at least they got colours reversed this time.

It was good (if, like the webmaster, you are a member of Rotherham Chess Club) to see Oliver Brennan pulling ahead of the Two Geoffs in their tournament, despite losing a game. Edouardos Ter Gevorkian managed the only 100% score of the day. The two-way tie in the third tournament seems about right on strength.
