Summer Cup Round 5

Results

Tuesday 30th April 

Fifth Round of the Summer Cup

We resumed the fifth round of the Summer Cup after the Easter Holidays. It is now looking like Dave Ireland's Cup to win as he is the clear leader with 5 points with one round to go. 

A number of players continued with their good form on 3.5 points and not having yet lost a match. Ed Goodwin, Stan Whitmore, Mike Johnson, Sam Cotterrill,Roy Watson - all potentially could claim the runners up spot. 

Warwick scaiffe continued his good run winning against John Conway. Aloise Evans and Siti Anwar fought a long game right to the end eventually agreeing a draw. 

Pete Smith secured another win after getting off to a slow start in the competition. James March won against Hok. John Loughnane won the battle of Board 1v2 F Team against David Adams. 

Next week is the last round and as I mentioned Dave Filer will be setting up next week, so if any players are not able to attend, could you let Dave know in advance.

Summer Cup Round 3 Results

Tuesday 9th April

Third round of the Summer Cup

Dave Ireland is now the only player with 3/3 after 3 rounds of the Summer Cup. Dave beat the only other player on 2 points,Warrick Scaiffe. There were wins for Kaan,Dave Filer, Roy Watson, Mike Johnson, Dave Riley, Siti Anwar, John Conway, Nicola Carrouche,Paul Sweatman, Nigle Morris, our resident Arbiter - Hok, David Adams, and Trevor Gazee.

There were some very tight games:-
Kaan won a very close game with James Harrison which went right down to a few seconds on each players clock. The game could have gone either way and as is easily done when there are only a few seconds left mistakes occur and Kaan was fortunate enough to benefit from a mistake by James.

Sam Cotterill and Bava agreed a draw again with only a few seconds left on Bava'a clock. Stan Whitmore continued his steady progress clocking up another draw.

As a side note we were also treated to a visit by Chris Baker, who was in the area on a personal matter. He was there purely in an observational capacity, some of the older members may remember Chris from a good few years ago when he played schools chess. Chris is originally from Coventry, attended King Henry V111 school, and since leaving the area has gone on to become an IM.

Summer Cup Round 2 Results

Tuesday 2nd April

The Second Round of the Summer Cup has produced one of the oddest situations I have seen in chess!

After 2 Rounds and over 35 players entered into the competition only TWO players have 2 points !

Quite remarkable at such an early stage of a Swiss competition - You would have expected the top 10 or so seeds to have all gained 2 points by this stage of the competition - and of the two players one was not even seeded - making it all the more unusual !


Summary
Dave Ireland is the only seeded player to have 2 points.
Warrick Scaife (unseeded and no grade) had a great win against Bernard Charnley. Mike Johnson held Sam Cotterill to a draw and arguably had the edge in a close end game.

Margarita again showed how much she has greatly improved and drew with Bava - a fantastic result.

There were also wins for Wesley Beeston, Arun Paul, Aloise Evans, Roy Watson, John Loughnane, Sit Anwar and John Conway.

The above results show how close this competition is going to be with all the higher graded players already dropping points at such an early stage.
