Tebby in round 1 played a very strong young junior and it looks like he has another in round 2 🙁....
Tebby will be fine get the young guns out of the way then all the results will follow.

Originally posted by Rene-Claude163 is his grade. Down from 165 last year. Obviously the near flawless chess he plays on this site isn't reflected in his OTB ability.
He must be playing in this in the morning and the championship in the afternoon - phew!
But what's with the grade?

Lee Davis 2071 vs Stephen Barrett 2251.
2nd round match.
After a *ahem* slow start, my pre-tourni favourite has a chance to redeem himself.
Come on Lee, buck your ideas up - the honour of Red Hot Pawn is at stake!
What with David Tebb drawing with little kids in the Major Open, we're in danger of becoming the laughing stock of the online chess community.
