No less remarkable, and in many ways more so, was Layla's victory over Scott with the black pieces. Scott sacrificed a rook (soundly) in a terrifying attack on Layla's king, but she defended resolutely and incredibly accurately, until in the final position it is Scott's king that is ready to capitulate.
Bear in mind that Layla is giving away nearly 300 rating points, and she hasn't even reached her 15th birthday yet. I think this may be her first victory over one of the "Gang of Four" in a long game, but please correct me if I am wrong about this.
The other group A game finished quickly (14 moves) with Ben Thomas blundering in the opening against Nic Croad.
In the B grade Bill Forster surrendered his lead to Michael Nyberg, I think he got his openings mixed up and got beaten very quickly. I had an interesting game against Brian Nijman (annotated by Brian below) which I really should have held, but my memory of rook and pawn endings let me down.
Ross leads the C grade, but watch out for Yogesh Kulkarni, half a point behind, but with a game in hand.
Skipping down to grade G, very nice to see 2 of our teenage players, Ryan and Sarah, doing well, both on 3/3. It'll be interesting to see the result when they play each other.
