Kevin lost on board 3 against a solid Caro-Kann, but his presence on board  boosted our lower board strength.

Anthony was playing too slowly as was his opponent, so offered a draw in a slightly inferior position.

Dan had an excellent win with white in the French Advanced.

Terry agreed a draw in the time scramble which was the right result, as neither player could really progress.

Malcolm was a doubled pawn up in a queen ending with modest initiative. His opponent unfortunately lost on time, after succumbing to pressure.
