With 2 rounds to go all three grades are still very close at the top.

In the A Grade Katrine Metge, John Worn & Paul Norris all won their games. So Katrine maintains her perfect score at 6/6 followed by John Worn 5 & then Paul Norris on 4.

The B Grade saw Stefan Brzozowski draw and Yash Narayan lose to Katrine. This means Stefan and Yash are leading the B Grade on 3.5 each followed by Greame Coleman on 3.

The C Grade saw both Arul Gaundar and Pauline Thomas gain a win. Arul has been impressive with 3 wins out of 4 games he has played and in this round he beat an A Grade player. The C Grade is lead by Arul on 3 then Pauline on 2.5.

The provisional draw for round 7 –

1. Barry Hooton v Katrine Metge

2. John Worn v Yash Narayan

3. Paul Norris v Stefan Brzozowski

4. John McRae v Greame Coleman

5. Arul Gaundar v Paul Postma

6. Temu Maroroa v Pauline Thomas

7. Solomon Lefe’e v William Lefe’e

8. Rhoslyn Lapworth v James Lefe’e

9. Ethan Perston v Satnam Singh

Jagmahan Singh v Ashlyn Phillips

Round 5 has brought changes to the leader board in the B & C Grades however the A Grade remains the same-

A GRADE

Katrine Metge       5.0

John Worm            4.0

B GRADE

Yash Narayan         3.5

Stefan Brzozowski  3.0

Graeme Coleman     3.0

C GRADE

Round 4 was played last Wednesday and has left outright leaders in all grades.

In the A Grade there was the tops seeds playing on board 1 and Katrine Metge gained the full point, as black against John Worn. On board 2 Paul Norris (white) upsetting the ratings beating Barry Hooton with an attacking game. Temu Maroroa joined the A Grade competition as the 3rd seed and duely won. However missing the first 3 rounds will make it difficult to catch the leaders. Leading the A Grade is-

Katrine Metge     4

John Worn           3

Paul Norris           3

In the B Grade Stefan Brzozowski cemented his leading position with a win over Pauline Thomas (C Grade) and Yash fell 1/2 point behind with a draw against John McRae (A Grade). Unfortunately this shows the problem with playing in one swiss group but numbers need to be higher to play in separate groups.  Stefan is on 3 points.

In the C Grade Pauline Thomas continues to lead, on 1.5 points, despite losing to Stefan (B Grade). Following on 1 point are Satnam Singh, Rhoslyn Lapworth, Ethan Perston and Arul Gaundar. Ethan and Arul won their match. Welcome James Lefe’e to the C Grade.
