Formally classified Restricted, this event is restricted to players holding less than 100 Masterpoints and is designed as an introduction to this form of competition. Swiss Pairs are certainly growing in popularity and always provide a fun competition. This year we fielded 25 tables including, most pleasingly, 4 youth players. After the first round, and for the remainder of the morning, table1 became the preserve of Mira Erskine and Barbara Pritchett. A creditable result as they had met for the first time literally as play began!
