Kevin Staveley reports: Iolo Jones proved to be the class
act of the Swansea rapidplay as he carved his way through the field to
claim first place. Under pressure in the last round, with time trouble
looming and needing a draw to claim at least a share of the title, he
found a bishop sacrifice to force a draw. This proved sufficient as the
other contenders fell away, leaving him in clear first place.
In addition to victory in the Swansea rapidplay he also takes the lead
in the 2003/04 WCU Rapidplay Grand Prix.
