First of all thanks to Alistair Nicholls who, despite being on "paternity leave" from chess, acts as my blog conscience, making sure I don't slack in my updates, chiding me when I do - and has now assisted in clearing up an identity error in last week's posting. The player who was up against Michael Nyberg was named as L Zhon but should actually be LingZhou Wu. "Zhon" came about by my not being able to read Mark van der Hoorn's writing. Apologies to all concerned. Incidentally, LingZhou Wu is not to be confused with Jefferey Wu who was playing Andrew Grkow, and, as far as I am aware, the two are unrelated.
Please let me know of any other inaccuracies.
Round 2 saw the return of the heavyweights, New Zealand champion Anthony Ker, and New Zealand Board 2 Russell Dive. Both duly won their games. 5 players remain on 2/2 - Nic Croad, Daniel Baider, Mark van der Hoorn, Michael Nyberg and Brian Nijman. Don Stracy made Brian work hard for his full point, and that game was the last to finish. Daniel Baider gave me the thrashing I truly deserved, given how I played the opening.
It is noteworthy that there has not been a single draw agreed in the first 2 rounds!
A warm welcome to two more newcomers on Tuesday, Andreas Theodosiou and Luke Palmer.
