Jamie Brotheridge met Swytzar Bell who opted for the French Defence. White built up a rapid attack and in a sharp tactical display delivered mate with the thematic Bxh7+ sacrifice.
Chris Segrave faced Patrick Cook and played the English Opening. Black played his usual careful positional game and won after a lengthy display of endgame technique.
Rob Loveband versus John Abson was a Queen's Gambit Declined. White built up a strong attack through the centre in the middle game and gained a decisive material advantage which he comfortably converted.
Chris Holley versus Joel Beggs was a non-event. White failed to show and Black won on forfeit.
Michael Schreenan had the bye.
