Another tense match in division 5 with the result of each game hanging in the balance. Isabelle and I ground to an uninspiring draw that seemed like it never really got started but she played very well throughout. Boards 1 and 3 followed with draws in quick succession although in each case one slip would have lost the game. A special mention and thanks to Doug who turned up and played on a cold friday night when we wasnt a well man and despite falling behind battled back to a sort of parity and give the team a fighting chance. All eyes on Amy and Joe with their game going on well past ours and Amy having what appeared a marginal advantage throughout which ultimately she was able to capitalise on in a very well played match. Many thanks to Cheddleton for hosting and well done to my team for maintaining our momentum as a team. finally there was also a counting 5th board where Harry Gardiner (black) beat Tilly Snape in a game where for the first 20 moves there was a very tense position and then Harry edged the advantage and had the experience to make it count. Well done to all.
