Club Championship Round 5

 Welcome to Nigel and Tai Corbett and George McBride, all of whom have signed up albeit belatedly to the D grade.

Russell won and Anthony lost was the important news for the A grade. Russell beat the early leader Roger Perry, thus continuing his 100% record and extending his lead to one and a half points. Anthony was beaten by the number 3 seed Nic who, up to this point only had half a point, although he has had a couple of people postpone on him. My game against Brian can be seen on the official club website. It was a pretty inaccurate game, although, in our defence, we were playing the last moves at approaching 1.00 am, Brian having turned up an hour late for the start.

B grade pace-setter Mark Wilkins was held by draw-master Ross Jackson, and so now there is a new leader in this group in the shape of Mike Roberts with an unbeaten 3.5 out of 5, although he has played one more game than his nearest rival.

The C grade is being dominated by Pat Cunningham, on fine form, and this week beating the luckless Bob List rather quickly.

And in the D grade Jack Baker had to take a bye to study for his university exams, so this gave other people a chance to catch up. His nearest rival Satwik Meravanage could have closed the gap, but unfortunately he wore himself out playing cricket, and so took a bye also. He is joined, one point behind Jack, by Bubbles Patuwai, who scored a victory against William Scarlett.

Club Championship 2014 Round 3

The big guns of the A grade were back in action after their adventures in the bridge nationals in Hamilton. And in the clash between the number 1 and number 3, it was Russell Dive who came out on top. Remember Russell won this event last year with straight wins, and so far he is on course to repeat the performance (early days yet though).
Bill Forster won a brilliant game against the tournament leader, and so places himself in the chasing pack along with Layla, Anthony and Michael Nyberg. Michael came fresh from the George Trundle Challengers in Auckland where he tied for second place after leading for much of the event, and this week he scored a very good win against Brian Nijman.
In the B grade already there are no players on 100%, but Alan Aldridge and Mike Roberts are leading on 2 points.
Pat Cunningham is healthily on top of the C grade, three wins out of three, with new member Aran Mol snapping at his heels with two out of two. Hamish Dixon scored his first win, against Robert List.
And in the D grade Jack Baker quickly defeated his nearest challenger Satwik Meravanage, although new member Colwyn Forling-Ford is right behind, with 2 wins and a bye in the first round.

Club Championship Round 2

Welcome to Colwyn Forlong-Ford, student at Victoria University, playing in his first tournament at the club.
It was very sad to hear about the death of one of our longest-standing members, Bruce Kay. He was liked by all and will be sorely missed.

Lots of postponements this week, especially in the A grade. Ross and Andrew Brockway in the B grade played their round 3 game early, because of postponements.

Here are the results
