Dear Friends 

A letter to the editor and Welsh Championship round 5 update.

 The Editor,

Winter Butterfly. 

Dear Sir, 

     Can the new W.C.U. Publicity Director, M. S. al Saeed confirm that any upcoming W.C.U. events will be declared S.A.R.S. virus free zones, and, in view of the fact that the next W.C.U. Championships will be held in Baghdad, that the streets of the city will be cleared of lions and tigers? 

                                                                       Signed,   Worried, Cardiff.

  

Welsh Championship Round 5 Update

 

RS Jones has taken the championship by the scruff of the neck and has a full point lead over his nearest rival T Kett going into the last two rounds.  There's still a lot of hard chess to be played, but baring accidents it looks like Richard's championship.  Looking down the field there is only one person within a point of him, the rest being at least 1.5 points behind.
