I think, come December, the jaguar will have honed his technique and will tear the capy bara asunder

Yes, the jaguars technique was atrocious there - it took him until the 5 and a half minute mark of a 6 minute game / youtube video to actually do something decisive. He needed to try to break through a bit earlier... You could tell that he was calculating well whilst stalking, but he procrastinated too much when trying to build up the position. He tried to play it a bit too cute I think.

pushing a pawn? Looks the way its positioned would suggest it was paying off the arbiter!

I live in the southern part of Brunswick - pretty close to Melbourne zoo and I often take my little sons there for a walk around... When we were there today we found a contender - the Brazilian Agouti! He might be small, but Im telliing you, he looked pumped and ready to go! Rumaging around his enclosure - ready to have a crack at taking out the top prize!

Ive actually heard that he drew with both Karl Zelesco and Justin Tan over in Brazil - so some of these players had better watch out... Domagoj and The Jaguar may have him covered, but there wont be too many others who would consider themselves a shoe in against him!

Paul, do you have a photo of him in action by any chance? Or a youtube video or something?

Get your money on the Brazilian Agouti! He is paying $15 - 1!

Rd 1: 1-6, 2-5, 3-4. Rd 2: 6-4, 5-3, 1-2. Rd 3: 2-6, 2-6, 3-1, 4-5. Rd 4: 6-5, 1-4, 2-3. Rd 5: 3-6, 4-2, 5-1.

Group A numbers are:
1. Morris
2. Dragicevic
3. Urban

I'm not completely sure about the other divisions, but I'm sure the players in the relevant divisions could figure it out.

I was thinking the same thing! Probably Morris cleaned up as per usual. No one can beat that guy.

I actually managed to blunder a winning position against Dragicevic, who had his fair share of luck that tourney; Stead missed forced mate against him, Penrose was a clear pawn up for nothing until his blunder, and I blundered in a very good position. Ari Dale managed to beat him though, in a bizarre game, so we shared =1st
