The pairings for the first part of the multi-format Contest of Kings II have been drawn at random before Round 1 kicks off tomorrow.

They are as follows:

  • Viktor Stoyanov vs Shreyas Royal
  • Bob Eames vs David Okike
  • Jonny Pein vs Adam Bukojemski
  • Blair Connell vs Chris Beckett

Names appearing first will play White in the first game. Players will then continue to alternate the colours through the different time controls to the bitter end.

Clocks will start for everyone at 7:15 pm sharp.
