One of the players, David Openshaw, was introduced at the start of play, as he is on the ECF Board representing the interests of both International chess and Seniors. He invited anyone who had ideas or observations about the state of seniors’ chess in England to have a chat with him in the bar or anywhere in the hotel.
Then the Controller, Ewart Smith, reminded everyone about the 10 a.m. start in the morning, and play got under way.
