Team Rapid Rounds 3 & 4

Scott's Capablanca team seem to have the Team Rapid tournament sewn up with 2 rounds to go. Bill Forster brought in a large size portrait of Capablanca, and this no doubt spurred them on to emulate the Cuban's genius. Scott personally achieved the double over IM Anthony Ker, and then went on to beat Brian Nijman as well.
Nice to see Marany Flack (nee Meyer) back at the club. She gave valuable assistance to the Alekhinians, beating Michael Hewson very quickly in round 3.
