The fixture v League winners was a little surreal as Francis Rayner had forgotten about the rearranged fixture and had arranged a family outing. I advise all players to keep fixtures logged in their annual diary. So I drafted in new member Jeremy Hudson to play on board 5 - unfortunately his opponent did not turn up so board 5 was defaulted. I won the toss and played white on odds. 1. J. Sugden | 0.5-0.5 | L. Rutherford | 2. P. Kelly | 0-1 | B. Denman | 3. B. Cafferty | 0.5-0.5 | P. A. Batchelor | 4. H. Tebbs | 1-0 | J. Kirk | 5. Jeremy Hudson | Default | M. Othman |
Result 3 - 2 Bernard had his usual solid draw though tried to press for the win. I lost badly to a Sicilian dragon expert who was gracious to review some lines. Howard found a rich vein of form in a well controlled game. John Sugden played a well controlled closed Sicilian and forced the draw to win the match. This means we finish 3rd on the same points as Worthing 1 who have more game points. Paul Kelly.
