The Autumn Cup is Under Way

Welcome back to Bruce Kay after an extended break following an operation. Also great to see Michael Hewson participating in his first tournament of the year.
Welcome to the following, participating in their first full tournament at the club:

Beate Aumeier
Bruce Carey
Karthik Konakanchi

All the best to you for your future games!

The turnout for the Autumn Cup is a respectable 36, compared with 30 last year. The A grade has been weakened slightly with the absence of Russell Dive and Arthur Pomeroy, but it is still very strong.
I hope to get some games up later - meanwhile here are the round 1 results (no major upsets):
