I was looking for something complicated, but the obvious Bishop x Rook on c8 looks like a simple win on material!
Yep. Easy for you maybe and looks obvious to me now too.In particular I like how after 1) Bxc8 Bxe4 2)Ne6+ Kxc8, 3)d7+ wins on the spot. Thing is I had noted with queen on c5 there were knight fork opportunities but in the heat of moment somehow I forgot :-?

Always looks easier when sitting in front of the screen and not in the heat of battle!

This year we used Swiss-Manager software to make the pairings and it worked very well. One of the side-benefits of buying this program is being able to post results to Chess-results.com and having just worked out how to do this results can be seen at:

Next year we'll aim to get these up a little quicker - round by round if we can
