After ten rounds and only three rounds left to play let's have a look at the table:

Atticus 1 performs a nearly perfect chess exhibition and is non-competitive.

Prescot 1, Atticus 3, Southport and Waterloo Old Boys are competing for winning the tournament. Actually Aigburth 1 and Skelmersdale have some chances for winning this tournament.

Have a look at the fixtures of the five top teams in the three final rounds:

  Prescot 1 Atticus 3 Southport Waterloo Old Boys Aigburth 1 Skelmersdale
29/03/2021 Atticus 3 Prescot 1 Aigburth 2 Wallasey B Wallasey A Atticus 1
12/04/2021 Atticus 4 Prescot 2 Atticus 1 bye Wallasey B Atticus 2
26/04/2021 bye Skelmersdale Atticus 2 Aigburth 1 Waterloo Old Boys Atticus 3

The top matches deciding the champions are:

29/03/2021: Prescot 1 -v- Atticus 3
26/04/2021: Skelmersdale -v- Atticus 3 and Waterloo Old Boys -v- Aigburth 1

Let's have a look at our magical crystal ball. To win the league, a team needs 16 or 17 points:

  • To win the league, Prescot 1 has to win both matches to keep the distance to the "chaser" Atticus 3
  • To win the league, Atticus 3 has to win against Prescot 1 and at least against Prescot 2 or Skalmersdale
  • Southport and Southport have to win all three matches, good luck!
  • Assuming that Waterloo Old Boys win against Wallasey A next monday, they might have to win their matches against Wallasey B and Aigburth 1 too for winning the league.
  • Aigburth 1 have to win all their three remaining matches to keep their chance of winning the league.

Prescot 2 has chances to improve their ranking, if they win against Wallasey A and Atticus 4.

At the end it is most important to enjoy playing chess. All team captains and all players are co-operating very good. Thank you.

Enjoy the last rounds!

Regards,

Martin

It feels a long time since we were able to meet our chess colleagues for over the board chess.

When we stopped playing in March it did seem possible we might be able to resume playing in early 2021.  This was overly optimistic and a better estimate now would be for a restart of the league in September 2021.

In the meantime, the MCA has started an internet chess league with a long time control.  Initially, I was sceptical, but I am now beginning to enjoy it and I would urge all of those who have stopped playing to give it a try.

The current league will finish in March 2021, but we may continue with a fresh competition ahead of a restart to the OTB league.

On behalf of the Committee I would like to wish you all a peaceful Christmas with hope for a better year in 2021.

Dave
