Julian Mazur Round 2 - More Upsets

Round 2 of the Julian Mazur Memorial was possibly the most well attended club night in recent history, with 24 games being played overall. I had to squeeze in some extra tables from the upstairs room to accommodate everyone.

Although not on the same scale of carnage as last week, still there were three notable wins by lesser rated youngsters against experienced old hands.
The only upsetter from last week who carried on his upsetting ways in round 2 was Lewis Carroll. His win this time was much quicker than round 1, a jaunty 21 moves.





Also on 2 points out of 2 is Paul He, who upset Andrew Stone in a very different kind of game. As Paul pointed out after the game, Andrew missed a forced checkmate, slightly tricky to see, and went on to lose.
We are very grateful to Andrew for showing great sportsmanship and annotating his loss.



 The last major upset was William Ackroyd against Lawrence Farrington. William basically just played better chess, but at the end he had to see the tactic Bxb4! Admittedly, he could also have played it the previous two moves too.
