As yet I have not played any organised events while on my travels. I did play a few casual games with members of the Gloucester Chess Club (both drawn), but my plans to visit a weekend event or two in the UK hasn't got off the ground. One event I did see was the Manchester Open, but it was a little too far from where I am staying.
I did look at few games from the tournament, including this classic comeback from GM Keith Arkell. He is well known for his ability to grind out wins in rook endings, which did happen here, but this also had the added twist of a nice swindle, starting around move 52.
Manchester, 2024
