I beat Matthew Sadler. Crawford McNab beat me. Murad Abdulla gets a hard game with John Shaw. Matthew Turner wins Scottish championship. I play Walter Buchanan for the umpteenth time. Juniors get coaching by players 1000 points above them in between games. A big crowd watches the superstars etc.
Great fun event.
I got to play 16 games against players over 2000, checkmated an IM twice :-o (sorry Andy!), defeated and then got taken out by someone I later found out was called The Sniper!
If I stick at it then I might win some shortbread one day!
