So Russell wins the Club Rapid with 9/10, Nic second with 8.5 and Anthony 3rd with 7.5.
Scott could only manage 6th place, behind me and Bill. This despite him winning at the weekend in the Upper Hutt Rapid - either he doesn't like evening as much as daytime chess, or else the financial rewards involved in a weekend tournament adds that little bit of extra motivation that makes the difference.
Here's Bill's win against Ross, with thanks to Bill for the annotations
Next tournament - the Blitz!
