Actual over the board games
happy to report on two successful events completed, and invite you to more!
I am happy to say that I sucessfully navigated two modestly proportioned (one 4 player, one 6 player) and fully covid compliant over the board events in Hendon this week, my first OTB tournaments since March 2020. All the players enjoyed the novelty of chess in three dimensions but reported experiencing significant amounts of rust!
