Russell Dive beat Anthony Ker to take sole lead in A group on Tuesday. An interesting looking middlegame led to an ending where Russell had a powerful passed queen side pawn. Nic was a pawn up against Daniel, but couldn't convert to a win. Mark sneaked a draw against Gavin by losing all his pieces and getting a stalemate.
The B and C group leaders (Michael Nyberg and Don Stracy) resumed their winning ways, but Don has to share his lead with newcomer Romeo Rabina, who is on fine form. I need to beat Michael next week to at least share first place in the B group.
In group D Michael Hewson is guaranteed first place by virtue of having won all his games. Alistair Nicholls can equal him if he wins the last game next week. Alistair slipped in the first round against Hamish Shierlaw, but has won all his games since.
