This is a game from the Cup Final which finished

4-4, but unfortunately Trowbridge lost on board count. Roy played his renowned version of the Catalan and established a solid opening  position that he was able to build on and defeat his higher graded opponent, Nigel Mills in under 30 moves. 

 

An important result, this early win set the scene for an exciting finale.
