Many suggested that the amazing run of Brian Willcock in the early rounds of this tournament was a fluke. Brian did his best to prove them right. In the following miniature Brian castles queenside to achieve a kingside iniative. But then, as one of the jokers at the club mentioned, he seemed to run out of suicide bombers! We will leave readers to come to their own judgment from the following miniature……

The long awaited Round 7 clash between Stuart Wilson and James Hiller has finally occurred. Despite James withdrawing from the tournament, the game went ahead to see if James could break his 15 game losing streak. Alas it was not to be, and this was not helped by a free knight sacrifice at move 4. Stuart played his customary stonewall, and then proceeded to overuse his queen. One felt that if James had managed to trap the white queen the story may have finished differently…. (but then again!…)
