Tony won the first game
against Andrew with white after Andrew looked like he might have scored a piece
in the middle game (the old pinned knight on d4 in the Sicilian). But Tony only
conceded a pawn and managed to make the most of a better position. In the
second game Tony had 5 pawns to 4 in the endgame but Andrew played accurately
and made the most of a time advantage and a nasty zugszwang to win.
The results of other games
went to form, although the pattern of play didn’t always. Marty severely tested
Andrew in game one before one silly move saw the whole game collapse. Brian
showed the advantage of his opening studies together with his preference for
this time control in his games against Debbie. With Debbie’s confidence
shattered by Brian, she was easy pickings for Tony.
