Prologue
As there are still five matches outstanding, I will extend the 2011 tournament deadline into the first week of October.
I will publish the final scores on Saturday 8th October.
Pls do your best play the remaining matches and let me have the results by then.

This is a five round Swiss tournament for the titles Shrewsbury Town Champion (overall winner), Shrewsbury Town U140 Champion (highest score by a player graded under 140), and Shrewsbury Town U100 Champion. I have amended the rules this year to reflect the wishes of the two host clubs' AGMs.
To enter you must be a member of one of the town's chess clubs (ie Telepost, Shrewsbury, or Shropshire Juniors) and every match must be played either at Telepost Chess Club or at Shrewsbury Chess Club.
All games will be played under league rules (95 minutes each on the clock to complete all moves) and will be submitted for grading. Should there be a tie then the sum of progressive scores will decide places.
The tournament will run from May 2011 until September 2011.
I will publish each round on the internet and by e-mail. If you do not have computer access, please ask a colleague to keep you up to date.
Players must agree date and venue with their opponent – the player with white will be regarded as the home player. Please pay entry fee of £2-00 in due course to the club treasurer at either of the two host chess clubs.
This tournament is intended to enliven the summer chess scene in the town by giving players of whatever standard an opportunity to play five competitive games and sample the hospitality afforded to their guests by the town's chess clubs.
Club nights are :-
Tuesday = Telepost Chess Club *** Friday = Shrewsbury Chess Club
(As a last resort it is usually possible to play at Telepost Club on other evenings
- but if so please ring the clubhouse 01743 248205 beforehand )
Please check your own contact details and let me know if they need amending.
The draw for the final round is below.

Please don't forget to email or phone your results to me.
Good luck and enjoy. - Keith Tabner - (keithtabner@hotmail.com)
