Crewe Chess Congress

Steve and Les both played in the Intermediate Section of last weekend's Crewe Chess Congress, neither of them covering themselves in glory.

Steve flattered to deceive by winning his first 2 games but things went rapidly downhill after that, with 2 losses and a draw, to finish on 2.5/5.

Les started off with a win but then lost his 2nd round game. That was followed by a half point bye in the 3rd round as he was going to a drink and drug fuelled party in the evening. A win and a draw in his last 2 games saw him finish on 3/5.
