Prakash went a piece down against Phil and struggled to regain parity. Piotr played a Polish opening and managed to create a game winning fork that James had over looked. Jon had a very level game against Mike in which neither found a clear opportunity to take the initiative. Bob made a few tactical mistakes in the opening against Steve and then struggled after going a piece down. Rob reached the end game a pawn down against Derek and couldn’t find a way to stop the pawn advance. Nigel had the advantage early on and eventually found a way to break through and force the win. This gave Horfield ‘A’ a narrow 3.5-2.5 win in the local derby.

So no cigar this time either – Division 1 is starting to look more normal again!
