Five players came along to the first Friday night of the year, with Greg Colwell opting not to enter the tournament.

 

All games were close and some positions hastily scribbled down during the games were as follows:

 

Andrew (W): Kg1 Rb1 Rc1 Bf3 a4 d4 d5 e5 f2 g2

Gary (B): Kg8 Re7 Re8 Nb8 a5 b3 c4 f7 g6 (Black to move, resigns)

 

Andrew (W): Kd4 Rc6 a2 b2 e4 g4 h4

Nathan (B): Kg7 Re5 a5 b5 f6 f7 h6

 

Cameron (W): Ke6 Ra8 e4 a6

Gary (B): Kb6 Ra5 c7 e5 (black to move, and with more careful play this might have been a draw).
