Summer Cup R7, Results, Standings, Games

The top players mostly won, leaving Russell still half a point clear at the top, with one round to go. The big upset was Ross defeating Layla to earn himself a crack at Russell in the last round.

Thanks to Fabian and Philip for their annotations here. Aficionados of nearly-successful attempts to beat Anthony's Pirc will particularly appreciate Fabian's latest addition to the canon. Great notes, both of you, thanks.

Summer Cup R6 Dive Leads Two Rounds to go

No Summer Cup this week because of the AGM tonight.
If you weren't at the AGM, you didn't miss anything momentous. Afterwards I got a few blitz games in, against Bill (fairly even) and Arthur Pomeroy (who crushed me mercilessly).

Anyway I didn't update round 6 before, so here it is. Russell Dive had black against Nic Croad, which he managed to win, so he retains his half point lead over Anthony Ker. Now the top players have all played each other so they have to come down the ratings list quite considerably for their final two games. In round 7 next week Russell gets me, while Anthony is paired against Fabian Day, who scored a magnificent win against Alan Aldridge last week.
