The A, B and D grades were already decided, but on Thursday the C grade was awaiting the result of Michael Sole versus one of our newest members, Aran Mol. Patrick Cunningham had an interest in this result, and he came in to watch. If Michael could win or draw he would take the C grade title.
Some interesting results on the last day - Don Stracy and Josh Wight were both languishing at the bottom of their respective tables, and they both managed to get their first wins, both against higher rated opposition. And in the A grade, Brian Nijman took out the number 3 seed, with a game he has annotated for us here:
Here is the game Michael Sole played against Nick Barr the previous week (annotated by Michael):
