2005 John Holmes Memorial - Round 4

Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 Round 7 Crosstable

Kevin Perrin versus Joel Beggs was a long mega game of chess, Kevin played the english opening and was soon up a pawn. Joel dug in and later tried to bulldoze his way in by throwing some "caveman" tactics Kevin's way, Joel's attack proved successful when Kevin dropped his queen and then later resigned.

John Frangakis played himself into touble allowing Patrick Cook to secure the win. Robert Bailey played the dutch and was met with the staunton gambit from Jamie Brotheridge, playing the opening well, Rob suddenly blundered a piece, then resigned when his position was lost.

The game between Tim Commons and James Eldridge was a sicilian that started off slowly then exploded into an exciting game with both sides attacking, in the end Jimmie was able to emerge from the chaos in front and followed through with the win.

Michael Schreenan won his game with Anthony Reynolds, Michael is now on 3 out of 4, an excellent result for him this tournament. Gene Bell lost his game with Shane Sporle while Michael Taylor had the bye.
