Well done both Mark and Nathan Talbot for some very good performances at the British Championships.  In week 1 Nathan finished joint 4th on 4 points out of 5 in the AM open, and in week 2 Mark finished equal 1st on 4.5 points out of 5 in the PM open with Nathan also collecting a prize for finishing equal 3rd on 4 points out of 5.

The league make the 'fixed finish' game the default time control.  Players can still play the 'long game' but only if both players agree to it.

Congratulations to Mark Talbot on being the WDCL Lightning Champion 2010

Mark won the competition on 'countback' from his brother, Nathan, who was the only player to beat Mark, and Steven Jones of Padgate who also finished on 4 points out of 5.
