Michael Handel continues to impress, taking
the Othello 10 by 10 World Championship in his stride
today, having just been pushed into Silver in both
8 by 8 Othello events.
King Koichi - New Lines of Action World
Champion. Despite a slow start and a sharp haircut,
Koichi Nicholas steamed through the field to
win the Lines of Action World Championship. Among
the victims lay Fred Kok, Grandmaster and
Two Times Lines of Action World Champion, who
finished 4th as an English Trio took
Gold, Silver and Bronze.
Jan Stastna's Gold in the Mastermind takes
him into the lead with 341 points in the Pentamind.
Close behind are Werner Dupont (305) and Jan
Palmgren (314).
Congratulations to fast learner Elaine Rutherford.
Taught how to play Shogi two days ago, Elaine came 3rd
in the impromptu handicap tournament yesterday, and
showing no end to her talents, won the Othello 8x8
Beginner's tournament today.
The Chinese Chess (Xiang Qi) Simultaneous gave way to
a friendly display, as Chi Kong Lai gave many
"friendly games"... how well the challengers fared is
not recorded.
English pack is beginning to close on the Indian Leaders
Danny Gormally and Colin Crouch stepped
up a gear today, overpowering their opponents to join
the chasing pack half point behind the leaders Abhijit
Kunte and Pentalya Harikrishna. GM Thipsay gave a
fine demonstration of how to defend Rook against Rook,
f & h pawns, while more attacking flair was on
display as norm aspirant Andrew Bigg crushed
International Master Andrew Webster and now looks
forward to stronger opposition.
Scrabble players looked blank as they got to the end
of their never ending mail-bag today, with Triple word
scoring J McLeod coming out on top,
commiserations (and a handful of vowels) to everyone
else.
The caption competition is still looking for winning
entries, so compose well and then try for the
Creativity Contest! - Lost Property for sale... if
claimants don't find the Congress Office!
