British Chess Championships Day 6

 

Day 6 (30/07/2024) of the 2024 British Championships in Hull saw the 4th rounds of the British Championship proper and the Major Open, the 2nd rounds of the Over 50 and the Over 65, the 3rd round of the Junior championships, and the 2nd round of the AM/PM week-long congress.  Last and probably least, there was scheduled to be held in the evening a Blitz event with Open and Under-1600 sections.

 

A surprising number of games were lost due to very elementary blunders, losing a piece for no reason whatsoever, though time pressure might explain some.

 

In the British Championship, 3 players had 3 out of 3 going into round 4: David Howell, Gawain Jones, Shreyas Royal and Matthew Wadsworth.  Michael Adams took a 15-move draw against Yichen Han, making is somewhat improbable that he’ll catch up with the leaders though maybe he was predicting two draws on the boards above him.

 

Yorkshire players’ pairings/results were as follows:

In the Major Open, only 1 Yorkshire player entered round 4 with 3 out of 3, Tom Wills, but enigmatically he was excluded from the pairings for round 4, perhaps because he was ill.  By the time the round 5 pairings were posted, he had been credited with a ½-point bye in round 4.  The remaining Yorkshire players’ pairings/results were as follows:
