Ropyal Beacon Seniors Day 4
November 6th, 2013 | 
Author: The draw for Rd. 4 was as follows:-
Normally, in the final 2 rounds of a congress when opponents in every game are on a equal score, the games become longer and are more likely to end in a draw. But being a Seniors event, the normal rules don’t apply. Looking at the day’s results, with only 3 games still to finish, it was hard to spot a draw anywhere. Except in the “Junior” section, that is, but then again, they’re not seniors!
