Tony Howes 0 Stefan Harmat 1
John Curran 1 Stuart Wilson 0
The shock of the first round occurred in the delayed game between Tony and Stefan. Stefan was a pawn up but by no means was his advantage decisive when it reached 11pm and the game looked headed for an adjournment. The mention of this word seems to have caused something to click in Tony’s brain (as occurred last year in this tournament) and he promptly dropped a piece to a blunder and resigned.
Stuart played diabolically and had a lost game within a dozen moves of the start.

Flood Cup 2004 results in detail
Try as he might, James was still not able to avoid another piece of wooden kitchenware to add to his growing collection. His best moment of the night was when he captured Marty’s queen that had been left en pris. James promptly offered a draw figuring that he had 1.5 minutes to 2.5 minutes and couldn’t possibly achieve checkmate in the remaining time.
Players with unplayed games will receive no points for these as tonight was the final night for completion of these games. Therefore, as a result of her wins tonight Debbie achieved third position in the final table of the tournament she most despises.
Tonight’s results:
Harvey 2 James 0
Debbie 2 James 0
Debbie 2 John 0
