Allegro Tournament
Results (Week 8):
Andrew Robinson 1 Jonathan Wilson 0 (one game only played, Andrew white)
Kieran Lyons 1 Jonathan Wilson 1
Kieran unexpectedly lost two games, one each against Jim and Jon, and both on time.
Against Jim, she lost the first game with a forced mate in sight, but DGT out of sight.
Kieran won the first game against Jon by a huge margin, like a grandmaster playing a beginner.
In the second game Jon was far more resolute and an early pawn advantage to Jon ate away at Kieran’s time.
During the middle game Jon had a few misjudgements that allowed Kieran to claw an advantage.
Entering the endgame Jon was still only a knight down in a queen endgame, when Kieran trying for a clever mate lost on time.

45 Minute Tournament
Results (Week 2):
Jim Petrie 0 Andrew Robinson 1
Jonathan Wilson 0 Tony Howes 1
Andrew gave away a knight for free within the first 10 moves.
With two rooks each and Jim with an extra bishop Andrew offered a draw which was rejected.
Then Andrew managed to capture the bishop after an oversight by Jim.
More aggressive endgame play saw Andrew gain a few pawns with the remaining rook, and then the game.
