Just a query on Northwich's board order, board 5 seems to be being graded 203 points higher then board 4, this seems a bit excessive at first glance? Is there an exceptional reason for this? cheers Damian

Boards 1-3 were all tight

Boards 1-3 were all tight matches that could have gone either way.

Paul Thomas

Hi Damian. Paul Thomas hasn't played for us for years as he had moved abroad. He has recently returned and started playing again. Before he went he was certainly ranked below Steve Harrison. My recollection is that he was graded about 90 ecf (or 1375 in today's terms), but I can't find him on ecf. The grade you're referring to is his "live" rating over about 5 games. If he keeps it up we will certainly have to "promote" him. Thanks for pointing this out.
