Julian Mazur Rounds 3 & 4 - Ker leads

After 4 rounds of the Julian Mazur Memorial there is one player left on 4 points. Anthony Ker beat the main opposition, Nic Croad, this week, after seeing off Brian Nijman in the previous round. Brian had the compensation of winning sensationally in round 4 in 13 moves on the BLACK side of a French Defence against Mark Van der Hoorn! Michael Nyberg defeated promising newcomer Anil Jhurani to set himself up with a game against Anthony Ker next week.

This Saturday 15th November there is a rapid tournament at the club, open to all. Please contact Alan Aldridge if you are interested in taking part. Should be fun.
