Open Result: Henry Meier 2 - 0 Karen Pearson

Henry 102 - 74 Karen
Henry 83 - 76 Karen

The score in the first game is extremely flattering to me, it was a far closer game than that result suggests. Game 2's is far more reflective of what were two closely fought, very enjoyable games which ...

Open Result:

Simon Myers 2 - 1 Henry Meier

Simon 81 - 92 Henry
Simon 100 - 72 Henry
Simon 109 - 71 Henry

After that first game any other result would have been a travesty, as the next two games show. I can't be too downhearted losing to a far better player, especially one with such an ...

Open result: Henry Meier 2 - 0 Chris Philpot

Henry Meier 82 - 74 Chris Philpot
Henry Meier 87 - 86 Chris Philpot

Henry Meier 2-1 Hugh Binnie

Hugh Binnie 60 - 102 Henry Meier
Henry Meier 75 - 97 Hugh Binnie
Hugh Binnie 43 - 93 Henry Meier

The first two games were like mirror images of each other, one of us getting a nine and the other never quite managing to catch up. Unfortunately, Hugh had a bit of a ...

Innis isn't bad, is he?

Round 12 was particularly good, while the speed of his conundrum was just mad...

From Flight A:

Henry Meier 93 - 85 Tom Rowell
Henry Meier 79 - 70 Tom Rowell

I stole the first game from Tom who really deserved to win it, and the second game was a bit nervy, on my side at least. Well played Tom, unlucky.

Closed A:

Henry Meier 2 - 1 Lesley Hines

Lesley Hines 92 - Henry Meier 75
Henry Meier 87 - 68 Lesley Hines
Lesley Hines 84 - 94 Henry Meier

Three very close games which aptly went down to a final tie-breaker, which I managed to snatch about a quarter of a second ahead of Lesley. Excellent ...

Well played Innis and Matt and thanks Charlie, good fun

Heh, at the time that didn't even occur to me because I was a bit annoyed at missing three nines, but now I see what you mean...

The Closed please, Flight A

Henry Meier 154-144 Lee Simmonds

A good game, very close, with neither of us excelling at six small. Could have gone either way, well played Lee.

Sounds fun, count me in

Agonisingly close to perfection, but still stunningly good:

Paul gave me the fright of my life in the first game, thought he was going to make the greatest comeback of the tournament. The second game was a far ...

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=85282

Two close games, and Rob was not helped by misclicking the first numbers in the second game. Both could have gone either way.
