Club Championship Round 1
CM Jacques Ophoff 2213 1-0 Joshua Crofts 1766
Ed Spencer 1985 ½-½ David Findlay 2076
Adam Clark 1599 0-1 Ansh Bhakta 1669
All by the book, kind of. David remarked that he and Ed were going to get a reputation, but the post-mortem still took longer than the game. Josh's search for a line against 1.d4 goes on after an unfortunate blunder in a difficult position. No surprise either, that Ansh kept us all late with a typical refusal to concede the draw, but grinding out wins from these games are what made last season for him.
