Congratulations go to Peter Hiller who managed his first major trophy win of his career in snaring the Handicap Trophy.  His game with Doug Foster amounted to a play-off for the Handicap, with a draw being good enough for Doug.  And indeed the game appeared headed for a draw in a rook & pawn endgame, until Doug somehow contrived to be mated on the side of the board (perhaps 3 question marks are warranted against his 46th move!!).  Nevertheless, plaudit goes to Peter on the night.  Gabby managed to beat James, an occurrence precipitated by James’ rash move 7.
