| Ivor Smith (black, board 1) in play against Shaun Munson. Shaun has had a lot of success in Colchester tournaments over the years. | Dana Hawrami drew his final round game against Alistair Hung, which assured him of first place. Boards 2 and 3 were both wins for White as Matthew Jellett and Heather Walker shared second place. | Joe Bloomfield had never looked to be in any difficulty during this tournament until his game with Nathanael Lutton. Nathanael had had the sobering experience against Richard Maynes (White, board 2) of failing to deliver a one-move mate and then blundering a rook. |
