Clash of the giants: Club Champ leaders David Paul and Alan Winfield battled it out in an exciting game where, with a piece down, Alan rolled out a pawn attack, but to no avail—a draw.

Played late 2016 in the Club Championships. Result 1-0.

It’s great to be back at the Library to finish the first series of the Club Champs. David Paul has a comfortable 1.5 point lead in the A Grade, Sean Doyle is only half a point ahead in the B grade, and the C grade is led by Rose Kingston. The first round of the 2nd series of the Champs begins Tuesday.

Beautiful and very quick win by tournament leader David Paul. Game played 18/10/16, result 1-0 by resignation.

Final round of the first series of the 2016 Club Championships, Lars scored an upset with over Alan. Interesting to see many lines missed in the computer analysis. Game played 18/10/16, result 0-1.
