The Winter Rapid marked the reopening of the Geelong Chess Club! 7 players attended the first night, with the first 3 rounds out of 6 being played.
Geoffrey Gill leads on 3/3, having dispatched Geoff Davis, Jack and Paul in a very clean fashion.
3 players follow on 2/3 in Paul, Jack, and Reza. (Paul showed that he has been using his lockdown time to study, cleaning up club veterans Mio and Reza both in the one night.)
The club welcomed newcomer Wade Patterson as well, who showed good potential and patience, but was outlasted by Mio and Reza.
