Another first for Daniel and an equal first for Keith...

Yesterday Daniel became the first Marple member to take  part in the varsity match. Daniel didn't seem to think the game was of high quality but I think it's a great example of how to play the Kings Indian Defence against a player who is really going for it. Is it the best game Daniel has ever played wearing a suit?

On Wednesday John Turner said that Michaels play reminded him of Tony Miles. I have always thought that Daniel attacks like Alekhine.

It should also be pointed out that another member of the Cambridge team has played for Marple - Jean-Luc Weller who played for us in the summer league last year.

News from today included Keith coming equal first in one of  the most prestigous weekend tournaments in the North of England by scoring 4.5/5 at Blackpool.
