While the juniors were strutting their stuff in the Wakes and West Jamboree, two of our more mature (in age only) players were competing in the Somerset New Year Congress. Andrew, playing in the top section, outdid himself and scored a magnificent 50% playing against higher rated players in each round. It just goes to show that a club like PCC can help players get even better when into their 80s - the sky's the limit!

Frank is also a very fine player, still quite mature but not so aged. Whereas Andrew has been playing for well over sixty years, Frank is a relative newcomer. This was his first tournament and so quite an experience. His main concern had been his tendency to overlook things in good positions. This time, however, he conquered his demons, coming out with a 50% score - and no blunders!
