Result Round 7 = WIN!!!!!!

A good result agaist a higher graded player

Report Rounds 1- 7 from Neıl McDonald (one of the England team coaches) who ıs coachıng Meg for thıs tournament.
Megan Owens, the only representative of Wales in the entire event, began the tournament with two long and gruelling games. She lost the first after a heroic defence and had the misfortune to miss a draw right at the end of the second game.

Then the tide turned with an efficient win in round three, where her opponent fell into a bind from the opening and was quickly smothered. Megan proved in round four that she understood how to handle a hanging pawn structure better than her opponent. Her well thought out counterattack netted the point against an opponent who insisted on playing on for umpteen moves in an entirely lost position. Megan finished the double round day all square with a loss and a win, and added another point in round seven to reach a solid 4/7
