Following on from last year, the winner of the Ballarat Begonia Tourament, FM Erik Teichmann, was invited back. 22 players lined up for our annual simul; a fantastic turnout for this event. The Club gave him a run for his money, with Kevin Perrin scoring a splendid win, and Peter Miitel, Joel Beggs and Rob Loveband holding the master to a draw. Eric demonstrated why he’s a master in several other games.
