The LRCA Minor Championship is going to a play-off for the second year running after Chen Yingxin of Leicester Uni won her 5th round match. Both her and Les Fancourt finished on 4/5. Les will now play her in 2 x 20 minute rapidplay matches to decide the title. Should they still be level after the 2 rapidplay matches then there will be an Armageddon game to decide the title. For those of you not familiar with Armageddon games, the 2 players will toss for choice of colours.The player with the White pieces typically gets something like 6 minutes on the clock, while Black gets 5 minutes on the clock. However, Black only needs to draw to win the match, while White needs to win.
Go Les !!!!!!
