10th Swindon Rapidplay

3 October 2026

81 chess players converged on the Polish Community Centre for this event, the latest in a long sequence of tournaments run by legendary chess organiser Ben Ogunshola, who also took part and achieved a high placing in the Open section. Local GM Peter Wells was also competing, along with Zack Norris who is rapidly making a name for himself with one tournament win after another.

In the event Zack won with a perfect score including a win over Peter Wells, which came to just a shade over a 2400 performance.

Local players will be competing once again in the Wells Rapidplay on Sat October 24, details can be found here.
