Graham Sharpe, 4/5, is in joint first position alongside Alan Byron and John Denton with one round to play. In the last round, Graham (with the white pieces) plays Paul Colburn; and John Denton and Alan Byron play each other.
Also in the Open section are:
Rajan 2.5/4
Sean 2/5
Graham B 2/4
The sixth and final round of the Open is on 15th September, although games may take place on different mutually agreed dates. Sean and Graham B play each other in round 6.
County Championship (Major)
On Tuesday at the Heathcote, i was eventually able to take the full point from Guy Closs in my last Counties Game of the Summer (77 moves ending in checkmate with only seconds left on the clock).
This leaves me with 4/6. Leading the competition is Bob Collins with 4/5 and Matt Wilson to play. A draw or better against Matt secures the silverware for Bob. A loss for Bob would result in a play off with me and possibly one or more of the following:
David Reynolds 3/5, Jez Wells 2/4, Matt Wilson 2/4
Guy and Brian Slater are now out of the running.
County Championship (Minor)
Roy Lathwood is running away with this with 4/4.
Haka Dave is second on the table with 2/4 (Dave's earlier win against Dennis Wilkins no longer counts since Dennis withdrew from the competition).
Raymondov is third on the table with 2/3.
Next Week / Upcoming Matches
- Raymondov plays Nick Wyld in their County Champs fixture at the Heathcote Arms. There is unlikely to be a club night as most of us will be doing things later in the week.
- Heathcote Arms (Harrod Cup Team) plays away against the Swallow Inn on Thursday 8th September.
- Heathcote Arms (Wylie Cup Team) plays away against Wigston, also on Thursday 8th, in what hopefully will be a successful defence of the title.
