During the course of our successful season we’ve had some fair slices of luck along the way. I can count at least 3 full point swindles in my own games! This match, although it finished 4.5 – 1.5 in our favour, was a good example of this luck, although perhaps we should also give ourselves …

Taking it board by board: On 1, Aaron appeared to equalise …

A relatively easy 4.5 - 1.5 win the end, helped by a default win. My game was a very solid draw with Black in 17 moves. Not much to say but I have attached it anyway. I was then in a position to see the second half of the match. Derek's loss was painful to …

The away fixture in Bath is always a challenging one, and on this occasion particularly so with the Bath team being strengthened by the addition of Roy Phillips’ return from Mauritius. The match started badly for us with Harvey’s Dragon quickly put to the sword on board 6. Alex and Roy’s game on board 2 …
