One Hour Tournament 2001

 

Results:

Patrick Tao 1 Stuart Wilson 0

Doug Foster 0 Brian Willcock 1

Chris Yu 0 Gabriel Boross 1

 

Three games were played this week with Brian Willcock and Gabriel Boross each doing their title aspirations some good by having solid wins with the black pieces. In fact, Mr Willcock’s game was over so quickly that some questioned whether blitz time controls had indeed been used for this game! Doug Foster’s loss means that no player remains undefeated in the tournament. At the other end of the table, many are looking forward to the clash of Stuart Wilson and James "Fremantle Dockers" Hiller.
