Nic, who has basically been cleaning up in everything at the club so far this year, got the chance to avenge himself on Michael Nyberg, who swindled a win against him in the Wellington Easter tournament. So now he has 3/3 in the Autumn Cup, ahead of Anthony Ker who is on 2/2 with one game to catch up on.
I asked Anthony before his game if he was going to be kind to Russell, since it was the latter's birthday. He replied that as a birthday present he was going to give Russell an interesting game! And so it turned out, with Russell's knight not being a match for Anthony's pawns in the endgame.
In the other A group game, Arthur lost on time against Brian Nijman in a fairly complex position, I believe.

Not too sure about Asher, Forlong-Ford, Griffiths, Sknar, Sole C and Waldron. Would be grateful to anybody who can tell me the results, thanks!
Also, if you have a game you would like to share, please let me know.
I really enjoyed my game against Bill Forster. Here it is:
