This week was supposed to be the second half of Summer(1) but computer problems put pay to that. Instead we had a five round tournament at 10 + 0. William top-scored on 4.5.  Crosstable below

We kicked off the year without the traditional icebreaker blitz. Instead straight into a six round 20 + 0 over 2 nights. The first 3 rounds were on February 4. Unfortunately due to a computer malfunction on the intended second night, Feb 11, only the first 2 rounds managed to survive. Crosstable (for 2 rounds) is below
