Report – 5 May 2017

 

Flood Cup

 

Round 6 results:

Cameron De Vere 1 Joshua Morris 0

Tony Morris 1 Joseph Curtain 0

Andrew Robinson 1 Evgeny Voloshko 0

Martin Laizans 0 Tony Howes 1

Mark Pendrith v Rex Scarf – postponed

Brian Willcock – BYE

 

Cameron De Vere won against Joshua Morris to maintain his 100% record and move to an unreachable position.

He therefore wins the Flood Cup for the second time, the previous occasion being in 2010.

 

Tony Morris won well in his game, avoiding any blunders towards the end. The game can be viewed here: Tony Morris vs Joseph Curtain.

 

Evgeny played solidly as usual and was hard to break down, but an over eagerness to push pawns was perhaps his undoing.

 

Tony Howes has a good win over Martin Laizans in the first game of the night to finish (just after 9pm), with Martin saying during the game’s post-mortem: “I thought I had you there”.

 

The Handicap Trophy will be won by Cameron if he wins or draws his Round 7 game. If he loses, Joseph Curtain, Tony Morris and Rex Scarf remain mathematical chances of winning the trophy.
