EIRC GRAND PRIX 2025 ROUND ROBIN GROUP STAGE vs ABERDEENSHIRE

Our second round robin group opponents are neighbours Aberdeenshire.

A quick recap on the tournament format. The EIRC Grand Prix 2025 comprises 16 Clubs from the UK, Ireland, Italy, and Germany. They will play a Group Stage (4 groups of 4 Clubs each) with three rounds of 10+ boards. Winners of these groups will advance to a Final Round. A full list of teams and their groups is available in the Forum at: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/eirc-grand-prix-2025-1

We have got off to a solid start, with a lead of 4-0 (11 boards) against fellow Div 1 club Berkshire. Aberdeen is trailing the fourth team in the group, Herefordshire Worcestershire Shropshire, 3-13 (16 boards).

It's likely that the group winner will need 3 wins from 3 to prevail. Link to register: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/tayside-fife-and-stirlingshire/1741051
