Congratulations to Sam Cook, winner of the 2015 Keddie Cup handicap tournament! Starting as the lowest graded player in the tournament, Sam calmly beat every player put up against him, winning all of his group games and progressing through the knock-out stages to the final against Gordon Allcock. Starting a Queen and Knight down and with only three minutes to Sam's ten, Gordon made a good job of frustrating Sam's attacks, until, down to seconds, Gordon blundered a Rook which also turned out to be checkmate. Well done Sam!

Thanks to everyone who turned up, and special thanks to Dave Hewitt for his organisation.
