Round 2 last night. Ryan and Graham had a battle royal that went over 2 hours but in the end Ryan’s passed pawn was unstoppable. Remember that if you are not going to be there I need to be notified in advance in order to claim your half point bye. New players can still join next week at round 3. After that entry will be closed. Round 3 draw will be done on the night, but if everyone that has played so far turns up then the draw can be found here. Crosstable at round 2 is below.
