Brian Towers ½-½ John Wall
Paul was first to finish, winning a pawn in the early middlegame and seemed to effortlessly convert his advantage. Joe by his own admission was ‘outplayed in the opening’ and was reduced to shuffling his pieces around before pulling out a devastating combination to turn the tables. Brian was pressing for most of the game but settled for a draw as time was running out. Ian sacked (or lost?) a pawn early on and had some initiative but couldn’t break through and eventually was ground down by a dogged opponent. John was apparently ‘a very patient player’ in the words of his opponent who marvelled at how he could win without moving one of his bishops.

Thursday 29th January 2015
The C team lost out to the University team who outgraded them overall. Asanga was last to finish after a tense struggle against a strong Kenyan WFM . Mike Savin acting captain in the absence of Stan Johnson had an epic battle against his opposite number. Gary Hunter had a relatively quick win but unfortunately Alan and Brendan lost out on boards 4 and 5 .
