Draw for the Knockout 2025 Semi Finals
- Rob Strachan v William Purkiss
- Eric Jones v Rob Sims
Organiser’s rules recap
Please take note of the following:
1. The player named first plays with white
2. Both clocks to be set at 80 +10
3. The deadline date for completing this round(INCLUDING ANY REPLAYS) is the 26th August; whilst this gives 3 club nights (12/8,19/8 and 26/8) the games can be played at any venue on any night if both players are in agreement. Please let me know if any extension of time is required and I will do my very best to accommodate you. Sorry for the comparatively short deadline date but this competition has for various reasons fallen way behind programme and I would like to maintain momentum to a conclusion.
4. In the event of a draw colours will be reversed for the rematch.
5. Please email me the date that you have agreed to play (to help me
monitor progress) and the result (to send to Graham Stuart for grading).
6. Well done for getting this far! Enjoy your Semi Final and do your best to get into the Final.
Kind Regards
Steve
