Navigation jamboree 2009 – NAG Challenge V

Drag Sudar

The 5th NAG challenge took place on June 30th at the Navigation. It all began as a hastily arranged match to mark Bunkers Hill moving to a new venue but has become a very popular annual summer event.

Ashfield comfortably won with 15 ½ points, Gambit were 2nd with 11 points and Navigation 3rd with 8 1/2 points. The top 4 boards were evenly contested but Ashfield showed their strength in depth by dominating the 8 other boards, losing only 2 games.
