Nic Croad was a lucky but in the end deserved winner of the Wellington Rapid. In a blitz finish with Anthony Ker mid way through the event, Croad, was defending a piece for a pawn down but was able to liquidate all the pawns where Ker's extra piece was useless. After this nobody else was able to catch up.

Congrats to the four Palmy players who played - Justin Davis, Mathew King, Stewart Holdaway and Savern Rewei
I heard Davis missed a win against Tournament Winner FM Nic Croad ! Can we see this position or game ?
