This means that at the top there are three players on 5/6, Russell, Anthony and Michael, with Andrew Stone and myself half a point behind.
Alan has sent in his amusing game against Bob List. Both sides misplayed the opening, but Bob misplayed it more, resulting in a position where Alan's single Rook took care of both Bob's Knights, and both his Rooks.
