European Youth

[Hugh Brechin]

Another cracking day here - Murad moves onto a terrific 3/4 with another good win. Carl did indeed win in under 15 moves, which was extremely impressive and takes him to a plus score. Kai comfortably outplayed another opponent, while Andrew did very well indeed against his highly-rated opponent to notch up his second win on the trot. Hamish built up a comfortable positional advantage before his opponent blundered, while Ali hung on grimly before seizing the chance to turn the tables and win. Solid draws from Anna and Ian, so this round I'm fairly sure sets a new high score for us.

We obviously compete better when the weather's warm - yesterday and today have been very hot indeed, with temperatures well over 30C.
