Julian Mazur R4 - Nic Defeats Russell, Anthony Draws Again

We had an interesting round 4 of the Julian Mazur Memorial on Thursday. Nic Croad is very much on form, despite his slight wobble against Ryan Winter last week. This week he just seemed to see more tactics in his victory over Russell Dive. He annotates the game for us here.







Brian Nijman was Black against Anthony Ker and he got a draw. At one point he could even have won, but it was extremely difficult to find.
