Provisional Welsh 2018/4 Rating List

Russell Sherwood  Sunday, September 2, 2018

As always this is provisional until the full list is posted. Gareth Yeo continues his climb, although Tony Balshaw also puts on a few points to almost maintain the gap. Special mention goes to Andrew Smith in gaining 42 elo!  Personally quite happy to see the tanker starting to turn!

Quote of the Day

I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player’s personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing.
