NICS Rapidplay October 2021

Civil Service Fun Active and Problem Solving Competition
Maynard Sinclair Pavilion

Wednesday 6th October 2021 

Something a little bit different! Intended as a fun warm-up ahead of the 2021-22 League season, this was not just a 5 round Active (or to use the usual term nowadays, Rapid) tournament but also 4 sets of puzzle solving in between. The players were only allowed 3 minutes to solve each set of 4 puzzles.
