Let’s start with our only winner, Malcolm. Nice rooks on the 8th rank. Gotta feel sorry for the black bishops.
Next, our board 1, Adam, with a remarkable 6 draws from 6 games this season.
Terry willing took a draw with 2 knights against 2 Bishops (see below)
Now the 2 defeats. Board 4 saw Kevin getting a bit overrun. Board 2 went from an English to a Dutch, where black definately needs to polish his Warsaw Variation.
