Jumping The Gun

I appear to have jumped the gun in suggesting that Rob Taylor's win against Steve Hill of Meir put him in the lead for the Performance Of The Year award. That particular honour, for the time being at least, is headed in the direction of Geoff Yates for his win against Steve Brown of Alsager. Rob's opponent was graded 23 points higher than him but Geoff's opponent was graded 28 points higher than him. If you're reading this Rob then sorry to have got your hopes up  -  you'll just have to beat Alan Paling the next time you play him !!
