James Hiller 0 Peter Hiller 1

Brian Willcock 0 George Flitcroft-Smith 1

Doug Foster 1 Gabriel Boross 0

 

On the night that saw the return of 1980s club stalwart Ray Adams, Paul Evans’ perfect run continued, and Doug pulled off a brilliant victory. Brian with his Sammy-look-alike beard, James (cricket tragic extraordinaire) and Stuart also maintained their perfect records (alas!).

However black was too concerned with the possibilities caused by this risky play and failed to claim a rook advantage a few moves later. This resulted in white ending up with a win despite some unsound play.

Results:

Ben Lazarus 0 George Flitcroft-Smith 1

Nathaneal Lim 1 Harvey Quaresmini 0

 

Defending champion Harvey Quaresmini played his first game of this tournament and got off to a losing start against junior Nathaneal Lim. In the other game George eventually triumphed against Ben with K+RvK at the end. Ben had exhibited a "Yu-ism" during the game, in that he had asked George if he wanted to resign as his Flood Cup opponent had just shown up!
