Matthew Bunn plays in FIDE Open

Snodland's Matthew Bunn played in the FIDE Open that ran alongside the London Chess Classic, this was the toughest tournament that Matthew has ever played in and in round 1 he was paired against International Master Jack Rudd. Matt played very well and had a promising position, but hey, these masters know what they are doing and Matt eventually lost.


Matt, pictured above, scored wins against all of his lower-graded opponents but had some really tough opponents where the games were closely fought but the result didn't go the right way. Matt finished on 3.5/9 and it was an excellent learning experience and hopefully a springboard to greater success.
