The quarter finals of the playoffs concluded last night with Alan Kelly triumphing over Saul Marks in their replayed fixture. This time Alan had the white pieces and, after winning the exchange with a deadly pin, turned his attention to Saul's kingside. His knights were able to penetrate deep into his opponent's territory, and aided by the Queen, and a nasty discovered check, he delivered the final blow, forcing a resignation. Alan will now play against Lewis Chatten in the semi final, while Trevor Shaw aims to halt the progress of the favourite, Phil Owen.
