Scottish Championships - Best Game Prize

[Matthew Turner]

I've just very quickly played through the games from the live boards. Congratulation to Martin Mitchell; Mark Hebden has a vast wealth of experience in his openings and it is very, very difficult to catch him out. As is customary with most events the first round tends to see the top seeds easing into the competition. However, I particularly enjoyed Gretarnsson demonstration of good Knight versus bad Bishop.
Nice to see Donald Holmes competing at the top level again, he had a crazy game against Jonathan Hawkins. I assume that Donald was doing very well at some point, but wasn't quite able to see it through to a win.
