Wolverhampton Summer League Quickplay & Awards. Thurs 09 August 2012 7.15pm onwards. Time control 10 mins all moves.
WSL Awards Night and Quickplay
Wolverhampton Chess Club hosted the awards night for the WSL, for which the results and prize winners are posted elsewhere on this website, and the Rapidplay event which traditionally brings the curtain down on the summer season. A total of 22 players contested the event in Open and Minor sections on a fine August evening. Tony Colabella was triumphant in the Minor Section, finishing ahead of clubmate Andrew Davies in a clean sweep for Brewood. Congratulations to both players.
In the Open, Jonathan Hunt won with a perfect 5/5, ahead of Dave Wightman, who recovered from an early setback to finish second. Well done Jonathan, the fifth different winner of a Rapidplay event at Wolverhampton in five contests.
Thanks are due to Barry Lewis and Derek Laight for organising the WDSL quietly and efficiently year after year, to Peter Broomhall for arranging the pairings as smoothly as ever, and to all who attended, for making it a successful and keenly-fought event. Have a good break and see you all in the Autumn for the start of the winter season.
