David Ward 3d won his local tournament, the Cambridge Trigantius, without having to share the title as he did in 2000. Thirty six players took part in the March 12 event at St Columba’s Church in the center of Cambridge, England. Other players winning all three games were Michael Charles 1k (St Albans), Brook Roberts 4k (Cambridge) and Jan Poslusny 6k (Prague). The 13×13 was won by Juan Leonardo Martínez-Hurtado 15k (Cambridge) and the animal puzzles were solved by Patrick Batty (South London). Nine novices, including four complete beginners, attended the parallel novices’ event. No prize was awarded, because the tournament turned into another teaching session instead, but special commendations must go to Jack Chen, Sam Austin and Mark Slatter for their progress during the day.
