The last three games from the 2010 championship were played in good time this year. From round 3, Patrick Cook versus Kevin Perrin was a Slav. These two giants of the club have met 26 times in the championship and showing due respect for each other a careful, but not uninteresting, draw was the result. This left Patrick in outright 2nd., undefeated.
The round 4 game Chris Segrave versus Rob Loveband  ended in a win for Black, enabling Rob, the defending champion, to share 3rd with Rod Jacobs.
Chris Segrave versus Kevin Perrin from round 6 was a Colle. White got into time trouble and blundered a piece, so Kevin finished with a 50% score.
2010 was clearly Joel Beggs’ tournament : a dominating performance of 7/1/2 out of 8.
