| Nic Croad |
Nic Croad has a habit recently of throwing a spanner into the works when the Ker machine seems unstoppable! Even when Anthony is demolishing every everyone else in sight, Nic seems to face him unafraid. After a fairly even Italian opening, Anthony as white had queen and bishop against Nic's queen and knight. Rather suddenly, Nic managed to infiltrate his opponent's position and the game ended rather brutally.
Ryan Winter destroyed me in about 20 moves. At about move 18 I was feeling relieved thinking that I was going to last longer than Bill had the previous week. However it was not to be.
Ryan now has 4/4 and is of course firm favourite to take the B grade title.
The C grade title is already decided! Congratulations to Edgar Benitez, who has 4 points out of 5, and cannot be caught by the other players in the group. Edgar seems to be getting better and better, and he plays exciting, rather tricky chess!
The D grade is set for a showdown between Wei Kai Chen and Fabian Day. They will play each other on Thursday, and whoever can win will also win the grade.
Nobody played in the E grade, and only one game was played in the F grade. It's difficult to know what to do to get these people to play.
The Swiss tournament that constituted the G grade was won in fine style by Nicholas Winsley, on 5/5. He's still young, definitely one to watch.
