Kieran Lyons 2 Brian Willcock 0
Six games played tonight and the results confirmed that it will be a two-way tussle for the Allegro title.
After winning from the exchange down in game one, Andrew’s second game (played with white) was won against a Dutch Defence that went horribly wrong for Russell. The following board position was reached after the final move Qxb5# (preceded by Qd1-a4+):
W: Ke1 Qb5 Ra1 Rh1 Be5 Bh5 Nc3 a2 b2 d5 e3 f2 g2 h2
B: Kd7 Qd8 Ra8 Rg8 Bc8 Bf8 a7 c5 e7 f5 g5 h4
There was also post-10pm transfer played. Andrew and Josh teamed up again and played 12 games against all comers (mainly junior members BJ Hamilton and Doug McKee). Game 10 saw the end to a glorious 22 game winning run (13 last week and 9 this week). BJ and Doug also forced a draw in the final game which ended with both DGTs past flagfall and heaps of confusion. How unlike Transfer Chess!

Quote of the night
Kieran: “I won’t be able to make it on the second of November.”
Then after interrogation: “Er ah,… because I’m playing for Bullwinkle.”
Andrew: “And you played for them last time against us, you traitor!”
KL: “I won’t do that again. I wouldn’t play for either side because it would be unfair.”
AR: “Because you are so good?”
KL: “No no no!” (while going a deep shade of red). “I just won’t play against you guys again. I promise!”
