DECOMMISSIONED

It is good to see "Rookie" aka Martin Kelly has grasped the basics of presenting Chess articles online.  

Since Belfast South Chess Club is now successfully established, and has an online presence on the UCU site there is no further need for this blog to be operational.

Martin`s latest post with games is found on the UCU site at this link.
Kelly "Marshalls" his Attack as Black

So, I am now decommissioning this site. No further articles will be posted here BUT the site will be left in place as a historical archive.

All further articles will be posted on the North Belfast Chess Club website.

BALLYNAFEIGH 1 v BSI

The result of tonight`s match was a 3-2 victory for Ballynafeigh.
D Houston     R Devenney        1   0
S Scannell      S Flanagan           0   1
D Lavery       G McCormick     1   0
T Donaldson  B Maclean          1   0
M Chapman   J Bryars              0   1

The team captain had inadvertently informed me we were playing Ballynafeigh 2. So I was expecting to be playing Damien Cunningham not Stephen Scannell.

GOOD NEWS

Good news, the police have just returned ALL my computers a few minutes ago. Now I can access all my chess work again. Too bad they had not returned them in time for the Gibraltar tournament.

BACK HOME

Have safely returned home from Gibraltar and am happily re-united with my German boyfriend. He was so glad to see me he could not wait to get into my car.
His name is Mr Caleb Weimaraner.

I have no doubt the Deputy- Sheriff will be delighted I have returned home safely as well.

START OF GIBRALTAR MASTERS ROUND 4

This is the commencement of the fourth round at the Gibraltar Masters. You can notice that there are quite a few people milling around in the playing hall. It was quite difficult to get a good video clip without being too obtrusive to the players so I never took any more videos.

THE UNOBTRUSIVE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

This video shows the official tournament photographer going about her business. It is interesting to note how she can carry it out without being obtrusive toward the players, that is a useful talent to have.
