This evening the Bon Accord chess club beat the largest chess club in Kent (http://pwocc.org.uk) 7-5 in the 2020 Chess (Online) tournament:
1. Murad Abdulla 2300 2 0 Aaravamudhan Balaji 2206
2.Hamish Olson 2239 1 0.5 0 0.5 Daniel Lindner 2214
3.Julius Schwartz 2090 0 0 2 Mikey Watson 1973
4.Euan Gray 2082 0 0 2 Jean-Baptiste Jugand (Unrated, 2261 in 1994)
5.Ross Brennan 1706 1 0.5 0.50 Shlok Verma 1733
6.Nihad Abdulla 1634 2 0 0 Conrad Allison 1837
7 5
(FIDE ratings if available, else Scottish)
It was a very tense match with Murad’s second win being the last game to finish.
The games were played at 15minutes + 10 seconds which was much more civilised than Monday’s 10minutes + 2s.
Next round we are playing the London School of Economics (LSE)!
Bon Accord is also entering the 4NCL which is being held online this year, 4 boards.
Expressions of interest welcome, I (Hamish) am happy to organise multiple teams.
