My grand scheme of "doing a Baider" failed at the first hurdle, and I got wiped off the board in 17 moves by Nic Croad. Meanwhile Daniel was out-Baidering himself at the other end of the table - he defeated his Wellington Open nemesis Anthony Ker after a tricky queen knight and pawns ending where Daniel was a pawn up. In the last 5 days he has wrought chaos among the cream of Wellington's chess talent. At this rate we will soon be forced to start up a grandmaster fund for him!
