Last night we played the third round (out of six).

The top board was a clash of the 2 top seeds – Katrine Metge vs John Worn. It was fairly even for most of the game with Katrine applying the pressure which eventually bought the mistake from John and allowed Katrine to win a piece after a small combination. On board 2 it was Paul Postma vs John McRae which John won after winning a piece and then checkmating.
