Dive Wins Julian Mazur 2016 in Absentia

Russell Dive missed the last round of the Julian Mazur Memorial because he is in Baku ready to play in the Olympiad that starts today. Arthur Pomeroy did him an enormous favour by drawing with Anthony Ker, although from all accounts he should have beaten the IM, being 2 pawns up in the endgame. Still I think Arthur deserves at least one beer.
So Russell finished on 7/8, a draw plus a half point bye. Anthony had draws against Russell, Nic Croad and Arthur, finishing on 6.5/8. And just behind Anthony was Nic Croad with his first round bye, and his accident against Andrew Stone in  round 4.

That's it for this tournament, looking forward to the big one, the Club Championship starting next week. Meanwhile don't forget you can follow all the action in Baku online, and even follow Russell and Scott's games live, if you don't mind staying up all hours. Modern technology is wonderful!
