David Amior leads going into the final round

By Andrew Medworth, Hendon Club Captain

David Amior’s 100% record in the Club Championship ended on Thursday evening, as he took a bye in Round 5. With several players at the top of the standings not in action this week, there was a major opportunity for others to catch up.

In the end, the main beneficiary was Salvatore Pepe, who beat me with the White pieces to join Lion Lebedev half a point behind David going into the final round. An exciting finish to the tournament is in prospect next Thursday!
