A very nice tournament, well run, and a very friendly atmosphere. Thanks to the organizers. Jack Rudd was arbiter and I don't think he had any disputes to sort out, or if he did, he managed to sort them out very quickly and peacefully.

I managed the curious achievement of winning two games by delivering mate with a knight. I expect the odd one during a season, but two in one day is nice!
