*130: LeeWebster Jan 2020 ECF Grade based on 5 games only played at Heywood
Congress in 2019. Most recent previous grade (2004) = 94; Between 1994 & 2003 (incl)
grades ranged between 84 & 102 . I have discussed this with Crewe Captain David Hulme
and estimated his current grade to be somewhere between 115-120.
Despite being clearly out-graded on paper, history will record that Crewe Chess Club delivered a sound thrashing to Atticus. Only Steve Burge of Atticus managed to get a result with the rest of us all getting beaten. There were times during the match when it looked like Atticus might do better, although to be fair, I think Crewe always looked like winning on the night.
I feel the match was played in a good spirit by both sides and well done to Crewe for their magnificent performance.
Thanks to all the players and to Dave Hulme (Crewe’s non-playing captain) for making this an easy and enjoyable event to organise.
