'D' Team Falter In Home Straight
The 'D' team are showing signs of nerves as they attempt to make use of their matches in hand at the top of Division 5. A surprise home defeat against a Meir 'C' team who were outgraded on every board, and by a total of 74 points, leaves us still 3 points adrift of Cheddleton 'G', who we play next week, in what could be the defining match of the season. Mike got an early draw on board 1 and at this point all the other 3 boards were winning. Unfortunately Robert and Ernie both failed to capitalise on their advantages and the games began to slip away from them. Ernie threw away a far superior endgame in which he was a pawn up and with his opponent having two sets of doubled pawns. Robert looked to have at least a draw going into his endgame but then blundered a Bishop away in time trouble. It was left to Stuart to give the match an air of respectability with a win on board 4.
