The Autumn Cup is all over apart from one crucial result - Anthony and Scott have to decide who takes the A grade title next week. Sensationally, the bar has been lowered for Anthony, as Mark outplayed Scott in their catch-up game, despite arriving so late that he only had 39 minutes left on his clock when he sat down to play. Now Anthony only needs a draw in the last game to take the title.
This was Scott's first defeat of the year.
In the other catch-up game Brian beat Bill quickly when Bill blundered in the opening.

I took the B grade title as Michael was, I think, trying too hard for the win. Lots of errors in this game, I might annotate it and put it up later.
There was a four-way tie for second place in this grade! Alok played a nice tactic against Ram and gained a decisive advantage in the other catch-up game, but went horribly wrong in the resulting rook-and-pawn ending, and got beaten despite being a pawn up.

The C group was already decided, with Peter Stoeveken the winner. Philip Rossiter had a good win over Jonathon Whittle on Thursday, putting him on equal second with Bruce Kay.

In the D group, Lawrence needed a win to catch up with Don Stracy for the title. He didn't manage this however - in fact he was lucky not to lose, as Matt missed a winning tactic on the 28th move. So Don gets to keep the title to himself

Pat Cunningham outclassed everyone in the E grade - he should probably have been playing in the grade above, especially as the D grade contained one player who only showed up for one game. I suspect his rating will be a bit higher than 1431 in the next rating list. Of the many newbies in this group the outstanding player was Roshan Wevita, who won all his games apart from the one against Pat.
