Hackney beat Hastings & St Leonards with some ease to move on to the next round of the National Club Major. Jon Benyunes clinched the win with his trademark draw offer in a no-risk won position. Pepe won with a nice sacrificial attack against a higher rated junior. Both Martin & Frank were better but ended drawn. Evidently having pictures of eminent grandmasters from the 1890s on their club walls didn't intimidate the Hackney boys as much they perhaps hoped.
