Always more pleasant to play away games on lighter evenings in British Summer Time. New member Shakeel had a good win as black with the Sicilian. We were doing OK on board 3 but Malcolm missed his opponent’s threat. Kevin fought well, but could not overcome a material deficit. On top board, Anthony won material through Bd3xa6, but despite behind 2 rooks and a pawn v rook at the end, disappointingly ran out of time to win.
Terry’s game is adjourned with even material.
