Up and comers James Eldridge and Judd Madden have surprised scoring against there higher rated more experienced opponents!! Peter Lumsdon and John Lavery, James pounced on a tactical shot winning Peters queen and the full point in sicilian najdorf poison pawn, Peter resigned 1 move later. Judd pushed hard trying to prove a pawn advantage won early in a french defense, John a dogged fighter at the best of times held firm and a draw was the end result with a knight each left on the board and insuficent material to win. Other games produced no surprises with the higher rated players overpowering there lesser rated opponents. The postponed game John Fragakis v Joel Beggs to be played Tuesday night.
