Fred and Nigel with their Bronze medals from the very hotly contested Lindsay Atkinson.
Robert Isted Results
Fred 1 vs Vincent 0
Russell 0 vs Reg 1. (I was thrashing Reg, with an exchange, two pawns and Reg's king under attack. In an attempt to drive the knife deeper I kept the Queens on. 10 moves later completely lost.)
Andrew 1 vs Nigel 0
Vincent 1 vs Carey 0 (Exchange up and won on time).
Russell vs David 0. (David struggled in the opening and was continually cramped. I missed a chance to win a piece and but gained an exchange to easily round up the lose pawns).
Reg 1 vs Fred 0. (Reg attacked ferociously, later Fred fought back and mounted his own ferocity. Reg checkmated while Fred was threatening mate in 1).
Dylan 1 vs Nigel 0. (Dylan played a King's Gambit, pushed his kingside pawns with his two rooks supporting).
Fred 0 vs Carey 1
David 0 vs Vincent 1 (Vincent was up an early exchange and then David gave away his Bishop :-(
Russell 1 vs Dylan 0 (We played familiar territory with the English Defence and Dylan nearly repeated Bb7xe4, but settled for Nf6 and so stymied his f5 breakout. With f3 blocking the bishop I pushed a dubious h4. The oncoming pawns looked too much for Dylan so he exchanged his bishop for 2 nointers. I found breaking through tricky and was down to low time before I secured a mate with knight on h8 and f6).
Reg 1 vs Nigel 0 (The Stonewall strikes again, a hot sac Bxf7 got things going for Reg).
