Edward McCullagh - 2 - 0 - Eoin Monaghan

Game One: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ke ... 3243211819

Very close this one, with the lead changing hand quite often and only a couple of rounds in which we shared the points, however I knew I had to get the conundrum before the last letter, unfortunately I couldn't see it and Edward wins by a point.

92-91

Game Two: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ke ... 3243211819

This one was a different affair, with Edward spotting all 3 conundrums and me getting none. A lovely pencil finished the game as a contest as shown by me in round 14. I definitely lived up to my rating of 1219, whilst Edward's 1006 is a joke for someone of his standard. Well done Edward, you deserved the victory.

111-76

And with the standard of my group, I am sure to get a few more losses.

This is exactly the kind of tension we were trying to create when we designed this variant all those years ago. Nice when these things work out.

[Innis Carson]

Division A: Innis Carson 2-0 Oliver Garner

Oliver 86-125 Innis
Innis 130-76 Oliver

[Adam Gillard]

Division B: Adam Gillard 2-0 Ben Hunter

Adam Gillard 76 - 48 Ben Hunter

Ben Hunter 55 - 81 Adam Gillard

My winning scores were pretty much the same as Oliver's losing scores. I only came through because of the conundrums. Thanks for the games Ben.

[James Robinson]

Division A: James Robinson 0 - 2 Jon O'Neill

Jon O'Neill 72 - 56 James Robinson
James Robinson 55 - 111 Jon O'Neill

Outclassed really, or maybe just not quite used to the format. Either way, Jon was the deserving winner.

[Hugh Binnie]

Scores in here?

Hugh Binnie 123 - 45 Jim Bentley
Hugh Binnie 105 - 85 Jim Bentley
