Gosford Autumn Swiss 1999 - 6 Rounds
Over the last couple of years Sandy has been working hard at his game, being very active in tournaments in other clubs in the area and Sydney Weekenders etc : and this is where it paid off, with hardly a mis-step.
The other side of the coin of course is that Rod was havig a bit of a hit & miss with his game - not quite having it under the control he would need if he plays in the District or Club Champ.
Although a low-scoring tournament we ended up with eight players within a point of each other, which showed how competetive it was - in the final round Sandy was winning then losing and finally drawing with Armando to take equal first.
After a poor start (something which seems to be plagueing him so far this year anyway) Stephen rattled off the last four.
Boris and new player Nedzad were late entries and their defaults were in large part due to communication difficulties(not being able to let the DOP know about attendance problems so we could defer games); reasons approved by DOP, next time we'll coordinate better.
