Comments
Everybody seemed to have a great day playing chess, and many thanks for the kind emails we have received post competition. One such example being:
Subject: Thanks for a wonderful tournament
Dear John And Nigel,
Thanks for putting on a wonderful tournament today. This was Victor's most fun tournament so far, despite his least number of wins.
John, your wife putting on such a variety of penny sweets of course was the most important part of the tournament, and the gentle and welcoming atmosphere.
And something for children to think about besides always being the winner....
Thanks a million!
