Spring Masters Marathon - September 1st 2001


Ivor Zetler's trusty old cat - the one that adjudicated on eeeeeeee many Winter Masters ago - was on hand to watch the second Masters Marathon in Ivor's Beecroft residence.

14 players played a Round Robin with a final round King of the Hill between 8.30am and 9.30pm, with the host clamouring for an extra game on account of the earlier than expected finish.

John Holgate made it two in a row by leading all the way, dropping only one game to Esther to mass an average spread of 100 per game. In the last game I narrowly beat Esther by one point to grab second from Jean McGiffen who was having a good tournament.

We were subjected to Bach in the dark during the evening break, as Ivor attempted to inject some culture into his thirteen guests.
