National chess champion Taffin Khan replaced Anthony Drayton as the leader of the inaugural Red Cherry sponsored ladder tournament by winning all of his matches last Sunday at the Kei-Shar’s Sports Club Hadfield Street.
The national champ was able to rebound from his upset defeat to junior player Saeed Ali in the opening rounds and is now poised to take control of the 36 round tournament.
