Bob Armstrong – Team Captain

[Hans Jung]

Take comfort in the fact that all streaks must come to an end Bob. But Im happy to notice that the old guard represented by Mike Dougherty kept the team form being shutout, possibly even a brilliant win!

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Hans:

Yup...Mike is now our top point getter. It's great having him play 1st board for us.

Bob

b. Per Player (Cumulative)

Dougherty, Mike - 3/5

Chamberland, Luc – 2.5/6

Boross-Harmer, Peter – 1/3

Armstrong, Bob - 1/5

Kurkowski, Ken - 0/2

Teram, Eli - 0/3

Finlay, Ian - 0/4

We got pretty close to the spread of games agreed to between the players before the tournament.

We achieved our 80+ group GOALS :

1. Seniors Playing is to be more dominant than Seniors Placing (Though we'll try to be competitive). We try to get our strongest 1^st 4 players. But then we go for U 1600 seniors who wish to play, chosen according to our own invitation system to our seniors network (Totalling now 30 Seniors [Including FIDE Veterans]).

2. We will reduce our placing chances in order to achieve a spread of games (Everybody plays) among our 7 team members (We don't just play our top 4 boards for as many rounds as we can).
