Correspondence
Richard McMaster writes in with an interesting idea:
"How about an Ulster Matchplay Championship – whereby, say, the top 16 rated Ulster players play Knock out rounds (2 games one white, one black) resulting in a 4 game final.
Tied games would be decided by rapid play – 2 games, and if still tied then by blitz – white 4 minutes and black 5 minutes.
It could be broadened for say the Irish Matchplay Championship.
It would certainly have my support."
We would be interested in your opinions on what could be an exciting addition to our calendar.
