Further details (14 March):
A weakened Lewes team turned up with only four players. Unfortunately they did not notify us in advance so Andrew, who had who rushed to make the start, arrived to find that he didn't have a game. The match itself was fairly uneventful. Francis's opponent misplayed the opening, lost the exchange, and soon resigned. Bernard had a nice positional advantage on the white side of a Dutch Defence. His opponent should probably have gone 'all in' for a dangerous, but probably insufficient, attack but instead went on the defensive and overlooked the loss of a piece to a neat tactic. Both John and Alfredo tried hard to make something of their positions but had to agree to draws following resolute defence by their lower rated opponents to give us a 4 - 1 match win.
