The Bristol Winter Congress took
place at the Bristol Grammar School in the heart of Bristol Nov
27th-29th. There were 82 players in 3 sections. The weather was not
cooperative but the local Wetherspoons provided some consolation. As usual, catering was from Rosie from Hereford. |

1st Keith Arkell 4.5/5
The Open attracted 32 players, with 6
players graded 2150+.
Not surprisingly, the Open was once again won by GM Keith Arkell. With
200-300 point gap over his opponents, it was expected that he would win
comfortably. But the real battle was for second place with no fewer
than 7 players tying on 3.5. This included Dan Malkiel, a new player to
Bristol fresh from America, David Graham who travelled up from Worthing
with his 2 children also in the Open and Javier Ruano Marco who drew
with GM Arkell in the last round.
