Round 6 results:

Andrew Robinson ½ Tony Howes ½

Brian Willcock 0 Phillip Kirkman 1

Debbie Jenkins 0 Ray Adams 1

Gabriel Boross 1 Garvin Gray 0

Mick Waters 0 Mark Taylor 1

Stuart Wilson 0 Shane Martin 1

James Hiller 1 Harvey Quaresmini 0 (on forfeit)

Marty Chadwick 1 point bye.

 

Phil gained an important half point lead in a round that saw him win and his only rival Tony draw. Phil casually flicked off his win over Brian as a win in the pawn endgame – Brian indicated that he didn’t play any overly-atrocious moves! Tony started bravely with the Budapest, but ended up accepting Andrew’s draw offer at move 17 (the same move that he ended with a draw against Phil in Round 2). When the draw was accepted Tony was the exchange up, but concerned about Andrew’s bishop pair and his own poor pawn structure. However post-game analysis indicated there was a possibility for exchanging the minor pieces thus neutralising any threat from white.

 

Debbie succumbed to Ray thus following her impressive start of three straight wins with three straight losses. Ray played his sound structural game following all of the basic rules and managed to press a small advantage in the end. Gabby, Mark and Shane all had good wins, with the latter two both having their chance to win the Handicap Trophy in the final round (see table below).

 

Harvey failed to show for his game again. His two forfeits mean that he will not in the draw for the last round. It also means that Stuart will have to gain at least a draw in the final round to have a chance of avoiding wresting the Flood Cup wooden spoon award from James.
