Hastings v Rainham Sunday 18 November 2012
Won the toss but decided to sacrifice myself on board 1 by opting for white on evens to give 3 whites on other boards - Also Jim requested to play on a lower board.
I duly lost my game though had chances to lock up the queen side by playing a5 after a4 which strangely did not occur to me during the game.
Robert had a convincing positional crush.
Ray and Mel had their usual draws
And our star performer James had another win.
Conrado only managed a draw but it was enough to secure victory 3.5-2.5
Match tactics seemed to work well with the right team result.
