Scott Wastney Wins the 2019 Autumn Cup


We now know all the winners of the round robin graded Autumn Cup groups.


Congratulations to Scott Wastney who won his catch-up game against Anthony Ker, thus securing the Autumn Cup A grade title. Scott won a couple of pawns out of some tactical skirmishes, and thereafter the result was never in doubt despite Anthony's stubborn refusal to give up.
If this game had been drawn, then Nic could have caught up with the leaders if he had won his catch-up game against Brian Nijman. However this crazy game ended in a draw, so Scott ended up being a full point clear of the field.

Croad versus Nijman below - many thanks to Brian for annotating this for us:


The B grade was won by Edgar Benitez on 4/5, 3 wins and 2 draws. In this group there was one default loss, Arthur Pomeroy to Michael Nyberg.

The C grade was won by Ryan Winter on 4½/5. He was a bit lucky that Bill Forster agreed a draw against him when he (Ryan) was totally lost. Bill finished half a point behind. Phillip Coghini had to to withdraw from this group, unfortunately, due to ill health.

The D grade was dominated by Michael Sole, although he, too had a bit of luck on his side in a couple of games.

The E grade was won by Alexis Wevers on 4/5. He won all his games apart from his last one against tail ender Jamie Quayle in the last round. One game left to play here, Caleb He against Andrew Brockway

The F grade was won by Michael Ashe on 4½/5. This group was dogged unfortunately by non-attendance. Robert Hurndell v Don Stracy will be played this week.

The G group was a Swiss that finished last week, and was won jointly by Thomas van der Hoorn and Vaibhav Sharma
