David hits the lead

Round 8 RI
David has 5.5 out 6 games and is the only undefeated player in the tournament. He rose to this status after an interesting game against Russell. Both players were far to cautious in playing the Najdorf and after some trading Russell fell to some simple tactics in time pressure.
Vincent and Kevin played the game of the night with some long combinations and tactics - a win to Vincent.
Phil sacked a piece but Nigel found the defence to emerge victorious.
Dylan confirmed his rating rise with a win over Reg.
Carey beat Neville.
Anthony defeated Cohen and Mitchell won a seesawing game over Anthony.

The REVISED new draw for next week is:
Next week Andrew, Vincent, Russell, Mitchell and Anthony are away.
Phil vs Neville David vs Carey Charlie vs Kevin
Gemma vs Cohen

I can't belive that I am in the lead, and the onlu undefeated player. I have been very lucky, andno doubt Russell's time trouble allowed me to snatch a win.
Hopefully my luck will hold out, and I can keep making the second last mistake in all my games.
Good moves fellow competitors.
