Disappointing Night For The 'A' Team
We were desperately unlucky at Newcastle 'B' last night. Glyn got back to winning ways with a win on board 3 and I drew on board 2. With Mike losing on board 4 we went into the late stages of the evening with the scores level at 1.5 - 1.5. Kasian was a Pawn up on board 1 and Derek was in an endgame with a Rook against 3 Pawns. Unfortunately, Kasian succumbed to an unstoppable attack on his kingside so we were relying on Derek on board 5 to save the draw for us. Unfortunately he was in severe time trouble and, in the time scramble, blundered his Rook away. So what had looked like a drawn match for most of the evening turned into a 3.5 - 1.5 defeat.

Unfortunately, our inability to field our strongest team in any of the matches has cost us dear, although we haven't been outclassed in any of them.
