We lost some big names from both POWER Rosenblum
and McConnell Cup on Friday. The biggest losses from the
McConnell were GORDON of Canada and WEI-SENDER of
USA, but a number of other strong squads bowed out of the competition.
DALAL (India) pipped CHAGAS (Brazil)
by 2 IMPs in the Power Rosenblum, while RIGAL (USA) got through
by the narrowest of margins, 1 IMP, against England's FORRESTER.
Another Indian team, KIRUBAKARAMOORTHY, knocked out ANGELINI
of Italy, and EKEBLAD (USA) were crushed by 73 IMPs by MUNAWAR
(Indonesia).
