Robert opened poorly, and was mated on move 14. Eric had a promising start, but was eventually outplayed. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good look at Ashley’s game, but he seemed to win without major problems.
Jo reached the end game with two rooks, the bishop pair, and six pawns against a knight, bishop, and five pawns, a clear advantage. She marched her b pawn up the board, but her opponent resigned just as she was about to queen it.
