Upper Hutt Rapid - Wellington Players Dominant

The ever-popular annual Upper Hutt Open Rapid took place yesterday, 15th June, and was dominated by Wellington players.
The A grade was won by Scott Wastney, who also won the Kapiti Rapid last month.
Brian Nijman reports that he was leading with a round to go, but then lost to Anthony. Brian ended up  sharing second with Anthony and Russell (whom he beat in his normal fashion - ditto for his win against Edgar). Ross drew with Scott in round 1, which was generous since Ross had a winning position and over two minutes on his clock compared to Scott who was playing on increment. Michael Sole won the B-grade with 5.5.
Paul He won all his games (the only player to do so) to win his grade.
Full results will no doubt be published on the NZCF website in due course. I am grateful to Brian for sending me two of his games from this tournament.
