Barrow - van Riel Shield

News

We played the match online this year due to social distancing restrictions, on Chess.com, after Nigel rounded up the Bendigo crew, and Patrick the Ballarat players. Had a bit of trouble getting Ken C online to play Kevin, but the game was completed somehow, even though it's nowhere to be seen on chess.com! Unlike the two match draws of previous years, we had a definitive win against Bendigo, 7.5 - 2.5. Thanks to all the participants for keeping our friendly tournament going, even in these tough times! Games are downloaded and can be seen in the games tab or here. No Gallery this year though!
