Hi all,
I'm pleased to inform you that today I managed to get (joint) third place at the Yorvik (York) Rapidplay Tournament!
I scored 3 wins (one of which against a 192 graded player), 2 draws and 1 loss.
The top section was a joint win between David Adams and Hull's John Cooper.
The bottom section was again a joint win, between someone whose name escapes me and St Andrews Mike Pollard!

Below is a diagram of my last game which I managed to finish with a beautiful combination:
1.... Bg2+!! 2.Kxg2 h3+ 3.Kh1 h2 4.f4 hxg1Q+ 5.Kxg1 Rh1+!! 6.Kxh1 Qh5+ 7.Kg1 Qh2+ 8.Kf1 Qh1#
