As a follow-on from the discussion about the most improved player, how about this team as a representative side for the Woodhouse:

1. Andrew Ledger (P7 W5 D2) Sheffield A
2. Oskar Hackner (P8 W5 D3) Sheffield D
3. Jean-Luc Weller (P11 W7 D3 L1) York RIA
4. Michael Round (P11 W6 D5) Rose Forgrove A
5. Darwin Ursal (P8 W5 D3) Calderdale A
6. Jim Nicholson (P9 W7 D2) York RIA
7. Martin Carpenter (P11 W9 D2) York RIA
8. Nicholas Mahoney (P11 W6 D4 L1) Doncaster

76 appearances across 8 boards, and only 2 defeats. I’ve tried to find players who play consistently at each of the board numbers (8 was the hardest to find a player for, as no one consistently plays there for any team but Nick’s average was 7.4 so seemed appropriate given his record this year).

Any thoughts?

That’s a pretty impressive set of results, Jim Nicholson on 6 doesn’t surprise me that he had a massive plus score – He’s a class player!

I think you should find someone better than Jean-Luc though, 1 loss. He was lucky to beat me at the British last year, Lucky! lol

I’d fancy jamming Jeremy (+5,=3,-1) in on 4 or 5 somewhere to have a captain! Rounding up all those extra Sheffield players must be worth something extra

Jim’s form in the Woodhouse is just utterly absurd, even given how strong he is vs his regular opposition: +44, =7, -4….. His only obvious competition is JL.

Jeremy will be the non-playing captain, of course. I need to have a look at the IM Brown and come up with a similar line-up now…

I really like the idea of having an unofficial Olympiad-style board prize list!

It’s tough to argue with anybody who’s on the list, although being partisan, I would have to suggest Mike Walker as an alternative for Oskar or Jean-Luc – he only lost one game and even that was due to a blunder!

PS – I am happy to say that I contributed to 50% of the above team’s defeats this season .
