Rapid chess was order of the day, or I should say night. It was fast, furious and fun—3 minutes on the clock and a 2 second add-on. After 7 rounds Guy Burns came on top with 6 points, closely followed by Lars Dobbertin-King on 5.5. Next Wednesday we start the John Kingston Memorial Trophy—7 rounds of chess, with one game played per night with the timeframe of 55 minutes on the clock and 5 seconds per move.
