Allegro Tournament
Results:
Andrew Robinson 2 Brian Willcock 0
Brian Willcock 2 Greg Colwell 0
On a night more notable for a healthy stream of quotes than the chess played, Andrew stitched up the tournament with a couple of wins courtesy of Brian’s interesting oversights. Game one with white saw Andrew push through a couple of queenside passed pawns with queens still on the board. The second game was a romp with Brian sacrificing a bishop that also resulted in the loss of two rooks, from which recovery was never going to happen. Brain atoned for his losses with two good wins over a sleep deprived Greg. The first game was won on merit while the second was won following a series of blunders by Greg.
Further games played Monday night:
Kieran Lyons 2 Russell Lyons 0
Russell’s report: “Yes Kieran won both games, the last one was a close one.”

Quote of the night
Regarding the AGM to be held on 7 Dec 2007:
“Do you want to see my motions?” – Nathan
“I only want to see solid motions at the AGM. Nothing that will run right through the meeting, thanks” – Andrew
On Brian’s arrival:
“Can I knock him off first?” – Andrew
“Yes, and you can play him at chess too.” – Mark, joining in the spirit of the night
Further on the AGM, some interesting proposals that may not (and should not!) get a seconder:
“Topless chess.” – Nathan
“Strip chess” – Greg
“Surveillance for electronic devices” – Brian
“No motions to be passed during the AGM” – Andrew
After playing timeless chess against Ray for two hours:
“And now I’m past my best because I’ve spent all my best on Ray” – Nathan
Concerning home Internet access (we think):
“We are equipping ourselves soon.” – Ray
“It’s wild chess” – Ray getting carried away during his game with Brian
“I would like to express myself at the AGM” – Ray raising the issue of a proxy vote (we think).
