Home now from work. As i was driving about all day I was receiving texts keeping me updated. When I was told that the four games left of Murad, Kai, Alexander and Alice would decide three results, I thought, you couldn't ask for four better players to dig in for the team. Well done to the four of you and to everyone else for that matter in a really good battle!

Amazing! Three good wins in a row now from a guy that lost his first game pretty quickly. Well done Fergus! Just had a quick glance through the games this morning and if you haven't yet checked out the game between Brandon Clarke and Conor O'Donnell, it's well worth a look,

Ouch! Nice one Fergus

A classic... nicely played Fergus!
Its not nice to be on the receiving end of a game like that. Commiserations to Hajane.
