The Viking chess invasion!

Our esteemed visitor, Agust Karlsson, who swept the Exeter Chess Club

Championship this year, arranged for members of his home club from Iceland to visit Exeter last week.

 A six board match was satisfyingly drawn as follows (visitors' names first):

 Bjorn Bjornsson 1/2-1/2 Agust Karlsson

 Sigurbjorn Bjornsson 1-0 Ken Hills

 Heimir Asgeirsson 1/2-1/2 Michael Zuber

 Sverrir Bjornsson 1-0 Brian Hewson

 Einar Einarsson 0-1 Peter Lane

 Authbergur Magnusson 0-1 Chris Bellars

 A six-round Swiss Quickplay was held the following night, where the Viking touch at lightning raids was apparent: a three-way tie resulted for first place on 5/6 between Agust, Bjorn and Heimir.

 Peter Lane - Einar Einarsson 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 e6 4. Nc3 exd5 5. cxd5 d6 6. e4 g6 7. f4 Bg7 8. Bb5+ Nfd7 9. a4 O-O 10. Nf3 Re8 (a mistake, said Peter) 11. O-O Na6 12. f5 Nb4 13.
