The Dundee Chess Congress 2025 was held the weekend of 10th – 12th October 2025 over 5 rounds again at the University of Dundee’s Chaplaincy Centre. Several club members had an enjoyable weekend playing with some notable results.
Ross Blackford (2027) made a creditable score of 3/6 in the Premier, which included a draw along the way against IM Andrew Greet, and achieved a performance rating of 2109 in the process. Also in the Premier, Chris Sykes (1848) was one of the winners of the U1900 grading prize.
Calum McGillivray (1701) and Keith Aitchison (1644) both just missed out on the winners podium in the Major tournament with 3.5 points.
Several other members took part – apologies if I missed out any other notable achievements!
