Summer Cup Round 5 - Dive and Ker Lead

Anthony Ker beat Nic Croad, and Russell Dive beat Daniel Baider, which means that they are joint leading on 4.5 points after 5 rounds of the Summer Cup. Both players opted for a half point bye in the first round, then won their following 4 games. I did not get much of a chance to look at their games, but Nic Croad looked annoyed with himself as the game ended. Russell was a pawn up against Daniel in a Rook and pawn ending when I looked over near the end of the game.
I am 3rd on 4 points after beating a preoccupied Brian Nijman (his car had just been broken into), with Mark van der Hoorn, Daniel Baider and Martin Hill half a point behind on 3.5.

Looks like we are due for the traditional Ker vs Dive fixture tonight.
