Stuart Wilson Trophy

 

Tonight’s results:

Andrew Mather 1 Joshua Morris 0 (Rd 1)

Brian Willcock 0 Tony Morris 1 (Rd 1)

Andrew Robinson v James Hiller (Rd 2) – postponed due to James’ trip up north

Martin Laizans 1 John Ryland 0 (Rd 2)

Jim Petrie 0 Peter Hiller 1 (Rd 2)

Warren Mayocchi 0 Marcus Porter 1 (Rd 9)

 

The first game to finish tonight occurred when an early blunder by Warren which allowed his queen to be trapped handed Marcus a quick and easy win.

 

The most tense match-up was between Peter and Jim. Observers noted a few unexpected moves from both players which left the contest open until force of material resulted in a win to Peter.

 

Martin cramped up John’s position early on after a bad move at Move 4 saw John pressed back and eventually forfeit material, with Martin even managing a second queen as the end was nigh.

 

The two Round 1 games were both closer, Joshua playing well in his first competitive game at the club to give Andrew a good fight, while Tony did even better in beating Brian by incremental gain of material.
