Dave Hewitt writes: The penultimate night of the season saw the spring allegro being played - the 18th in the series - and 12 players took part. Congratulations to John and Neil who shared first place with 4/5 - both were unbeaten and they drew with each other (but not a grandmaster draw) in r5. It was Neil's first win - always good to see a new name on the roll of honour (there have now been 11 different winners or joint-winners) - and John's fifth, leaving him just one win behind Steve in overall terms.
Tony claimed the other place on the podium - an excellent result given that he started with a loss - and he won an interesting QvsRR game against Steve in r5 when a win for the latter would have seen him finish joint-first. It was good to see young James getting his first proper tournament outing - always a bit daunting, and even though the three games he played all ended in defeat it will have been good practice and will hopefully be just the start of a long competitive career.
