Alastair was in 2nd position in the U18 Open Australian Junior Championships with 5/6. With white Alastair faced a French (not his favoured option for the mire of tactics he enjoys). By about move 20 teh queens were off and the position equal. Alastair kept seeing tactics that didn't work and defending aginast these his pieces became awkward and he then lost to a rook trapping tactic. He now heads into round 8 with 5/7.
Other Bunrie players had a better day, Andrew scored his second win (3/7), Charlie and Kevin drew agaunst each other, Mitchell yet to win a game is now playing solidly and not leaving pieces en prise, Vincent scored a win (3.5/7).
