Played while gale force winds were hitting Brisbane, a full program of games were completed tonight.

 

Andrew Mather emerged as the only player maintaining a 100% record after a relatively easy win in which he was rarely stretched by an unenterprising opponent.

 

A spectator to the Howes-Adams game noticed the pawn endgame advantage held by Tony and declared it a won game based on Tony’s superior endgame play.

However tonight it was not to be, with Ray holding on through accurate play to clog up any opportunity to push for a win.

 

Brian played well but succumbed to a stronger opponent, and likewise Adam lost to Martin.

 

Daniel Sheldon and Daniel Clancy each notched up good wins by clear margins to move up the table.

 

The game the lasted the longest was between newcomer Edwin and Peter Hiller, finishing around 10:30pm.

Peter blundered to go a piece down, but still had opportunities to equalise due to a well placed passed pawn.

However Peter failed to conjure the risky, aggressive play necessary to redeem the situation, and was ground down as he tried to defend the indefensible.

Another impressive win to Edwin who now has two wins from his two games played over the board!
