Michael Lin beat two of the clubs senior members last night – both Prashanth and Miiton taking a bath. This is a tremendous result for Michael whose chess is going from strength to strength. For his efforts he has picked up an impressive 37 ratings points across the tournament, with the ratings graph below
Autumn(2) goes to Richard. The big shout out goes to Michael though, a clear second on 5 points, and now a player that everyone needs to take notice of. Autumn (3) kicks off next week, don’t be late
