'C' Team Throw Away Another Match
Yet again the 'C' team threw away a match that they should have won easily. Glyn got us off to a good start with a straightforward win on board 1, followed by a draw from Derek on board 3. Chris then missed multiple opportunities to win his game on board 4 before losing on time for the second match running. Grenville was the exchange up and had a passed pawn on board 2 but contrived to mess up his endgame and had to settle for a draw. Click here for the match score card. We are still second from bottom of the table but the team below us have 2 matches in hand so the Wooden Spoon beckons.
