The 4th TAFCA ALLEGRO CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES 2022-23 – Hail Ed Spencer!
The 4th TAFCA ALLEGRO CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES 2022-23
Tues 14th March 23 – 7:30pm on Lichess.org
Format: 5 Round Swiss: Time-Control: 15 minutes each player
We had 14 players taking part, including two first timers!
Congratulations to Ed Spencer (Dundee) who finished in 1st place on 4 points to extend his lead at the top of the overall TAFCA Online Allegro table!
Ed lost one game and that was to Rishi Vijayakumar J11 (Castlehill), but then Rishi lost his last two matches to fall behind Ed! Talk about a merry-go-round!
Both those losses by Rishi were to Joshua Crofts (Dundee) and Graham Mooney (Castlehill) who both finished in equal 2nd place on the night! This time Rishi had to settle for equal 4th place with Andre Babin (Castlehill) and Ed Walton (Castlehill).
The shock result of the night (there’s always one!), happened in round 2, when Daniel Coleman (Castlehill -1100), beat David Findlay (Dundee – 2000+)! What a result! Daniel said, he did not see who he was playing until after the game, and then fell off his chair! I think David beat him to that one!
Talk about a David and Goliath moment, or is that now a Daniel and Goliath moment! Daniel`s TPR was 2110!
Sorry David, but here is Daniels game! “HERE”
PLAYERS/CLUBS
Castlehill: 9 players
Dundee: 3 players
Newport: 2 players
Maybe TAFCA could do with a little more support from the other clubs outside of Castlehill?
With a 9 point lead, Ed Spencer (Dundee), even if he did not take part in the last one, is untouchable and is the first ever champion of this event and is crowned, TAFCA Online Allegro Championship Series champion 2022-23! Congratulations Ed and well deserved!
