The first half of the Leo Eichholtz Board has finished––Zoe Kingston is well clear of the pack, one point ahead of Glenys Mills and Alistair McGowan. A former ex-Olympiad competitor and a top rated woman’s player, Glenys played a strong game against David Paul to lessen his chances of retaining the Board for 2010. For Juniors; Christy Paul leads the field—only half a point of the dark-horse Itay Ben-Dom who has missed two games due to missing one nights play. For full results see the table below.The Leo Eichholtz Board competition continues with the Part B section, which starts 24 March.
