There were 2 matches at the Club last night. The 'B' team had a set back when they were held to a 2 - 2 draw by bottom of the table Newcastle 'E'. There was a last minute team change when we found out that the latest ECF grades had been published that afternoon and Kas is now rated at 133. This meant that he was unable to play as his new grade would have taken us over the grading limit. Stuart stepped into the breach and got a good draw on board 4. He was material up at the end but was short of time so accepted the draw in what was a won position. Ernie lost early on in the evening on board 3 and Mike was held to a draw on board 2. It was left to Rob to save the day with another good win on board 1. Click here to view the full match score card.
Christopher and Edward Brian made their league debuts for the 'D' team in a 2.5 - 1.5 defeat at the hands of Cheddleton 'J'. Christopher won on board 3 and Edward put up a good fight, which went right down to the endgame, before losing on board 4. Steven suffered an early loss on board 2 and I got yet another draw on board 1. Click here to view the full match score card.
