How many IMs york gonna pay?
I presume you meant play there :) No one gets paid to play in the Yorkshire league.

We'll have a good team vs Sheffield no doubt, and a live chance of winning that match. As will Hull to a slightly lesser extent and a few other teams as outside shots.

What I doubt either of us will be able to do is to keep up the pace vs the other teams. Hull of course have already drawn against Leeds. No disgrace there, Leeds have a very strong top three.

In the same way that York knew for years that we'd have most game points, Sheffield will this season. It won't be close. That gives them draw odds at worst in any head to head. York don't turn up having 'won' many matches in advance anymore :) Multiple very close matches in 2022/23, and no doubt more this season!

Having David Adams switch to playing (well of course!) online bridge after many decades left a huge hole.
Cool thanks v much for ur reply i was wondering that...

Cos I have seen one match where you had THREE IMs... which must be a record...

They sure know how to get good players in York... I may have more to write about York chess later ;)
