Game of the evening was probably Nijman v Timergazi. Officially, Club Championship games are supposed to start at 7:30, but they very seldom do. You are allowed to start your opponent's clock at 7:30 even if they are not there. Brian being one of those players who are habitually late, Bill and I tried to goad Layla into starting Brian's clock on time, which she very sportingly refused to do. Bill pointed out that one of the factors that had helped him defeat Brian the previous week was that he had taken a "no more Mr Nice Guy" stance, starting Brian's clock before he had actually arrived.
Anyway, I suspect that, despite Layla's gentlewomanliness, Brian still suffered from time trouble at the end - having survived a harrowingly complicated middle game, he made some bad errors at the end that decided the game.
After 2 weeks, Nic is the sole leader in the A grade, on 100%.
In the B grade Alan Aldridge leads, despite coming out of the opening against Alan Winfield with disadvantageously doubled pawns. Philip Rossiter scored a useful win over Ross Jackson, and Wei Kai Chen beat Gordon Lyall with a nice tactic at the end.
In the C grade top seed Andrew Brockway was held to a draw by Lawrence Farrington. There are only two players left on 100% here, Nathan Hall and Peter Stoeveken, but there were a lot of absent players in this grade.
