Over the weekend of 11/12 July, five players competed for the title of Suffolk Champion. With one player dropping out, the all-plays-all format meant that each entrant received a bye. The Champion, who won all four games, was 18-year old Alan Merry, whose grading performance for the event was an amazing 250.
Other scores (out of 4) were:
Steve Gregory, Adam Taylor, Andrew Lewis - 2 points
Silas Peck - 0 points
Steve Gregory beat Andrew Lewis in their individual game and finished with a grading performance of 207.
In the first round, Alan (Black) faced second seed FM Andrew Lewis (White). Here is the game (kindly supplied by Andrew), which lasted only 22 moves:
Andrew commented, "Alan was simply too good for the rest of us and this was accurately reflected in his crushing 100% score line. Not a great game by yours truly, but the quality of Alan’s preparation and play is certainly evident. Well done to Alan. And thanks to Tim (Lunn) for organizing the event."
