I annotated some games from this event.

Thanks for the games. I'll play them through, particularly the Arkell ending.

Thanks Jack - great annotations.

I'm not very good at identifying the moment when an endgame transitions from being difficult but holdable to objectively lost. However, I'm sure that by the time of 36...Kf6 in Arkell - Verma Black was already losing because there was no long term defence to my plan of creating connected passed pawns on the e and f files. I think the whole Rook Endgame is teetering on the edge of being hopeless as Black can only sit and wait while I continually improve my position.
