The
Solent Individual Rapidplay Championship was played at Emsworth Chess Club
every week during June, July and August 2007, with 26 players from
Portsmouth and Southampton taking part, the Championship was won by
Dominic Tunks and the Major was won by Paul Eyles. The format was players
play two half hour games against each other one as white and one as black,
with everyone starting on zero points your score goes up if you win, but
goes down if you lose.
The
final round was particularly close this year with H.Lwambula in the lead
and D. Tunks and P. Eyles equal second any one of whom could have won the
Championship in the final round, H. Lwambula drew one and lost one to
K.Eyles, D.Tunks drew one and won one against E. Davies and P.Eyles lost
one and won one against S. Roberts. The outstanding performance this year
was by Paul Eyles.
