Autumn Cup Round 4 - Croad Continues Rampage

Nic Croad won his 4th consecutive Autumn Cup game, this time beating number 2 seed Anthony Ker. This is the sort of thing we do not see very often at the club, and in the past any rampaging has traditionally been perpetrated by Russell or Anthony. I wouldn't bet money against Nic achieving the clean sweep in this tournament as he did in the previous one, the Fischer Random.

The B group leaders, Bill and I, both lost very promising positions, Bill against Layla and me against Andrew Stone.

Since none of you gorgeous players have sent me any games to put up on the blog, you are stuck with another one of mine (see below).

If I do not get any games from anyone else this week, this will be the last time I update the blog.
