Summer Cup Round 3

Maybe I put a curse on the official site - it went down as soon as I linked to it. Anyway, I will carry on adding results to this blog, as I can get them out faster than them.
A few interesting results in round 3 - most notable was Megan's draw against Gavin Marner after a difficult knight versus bishop ending. Megan is rated 585 points below Gavin in the latest rating list! Our B grade champion Alan Aldridge (rating:1801) lost spectacularly to Paul Bowden (listed as an Upper Hutt player, rating 1432), and our joint A grade champion Brian Nijman was held to a draw by Don Stracy. Recent arrival Marany Meyer put up some resistance to Russell Dive, but lost in the end. And Michael Hewson is currently joint 3rd, along with Russell Dive, Just behind Anthony Ker and Nic Croad.

Good luck to the Wellington team for Saturday, when they play the combined might of Wanganui and Palmerston North. I hope to get the results to publish here.
