Club Championship week 4

Apologies to anyone who tried unsuccessfully to click on last week's image to enlarge. No, it's not your computer, the Blog people must have changed the program. This time I saved as a GIF image, and it seems to work.

A host of Black victories in group A! This group is still dominated by Russell Dive. He defeated his highest rated rival, Anthony Ker, so is on target to make a clean sweep, and justify his Olympiad selection (as if any justification were required!). Having said that, joint club champion Brian Nijman is also on 100% (with 2/2 compared with Russell's 4/4), so anything could happen. I had another disaster, losing a drawn position in an opposite coloured Bishop ending against Nic Croad. It was after midnight, so I must have turned into some kind of pumpkin.
In group B Martin Hill is leading on 4/4 with Alan Aldridge absent and remaining on 3/3. Does anyone have the result of Nicholls vs Stracy? I am missing that one.
In group C Blaise Drinkwater regained the lead, as his opponent did not show up, and Paul Bowden could only manage a draw against Somesh Pattekar.

Full results:

A grade
Sellen 0 Croad 1
Ker 0 Dive 1
Jackson 0 Marner 1
Nyberg 0 Nijman 1

B grade
Nicholls ? Stracy ?
Hewson 0 Hill 1
Kay 1/2 Brockway 1/2

C grade
Marney 1 Foster 0
Bowden 1/2 Pattekar 1/2
Krueger 0 Drinkwater 1 (default)
