Despite our overall performance being somewhat mixed we achieved (escaped with ?) a draw. It is often said that the mark of a good team is to get a reult when not playing well !
Having been 2-0 down (George and Nick on the top boards) Rob won convicingly, and Hugh got the full point after turning down a draw offer when a pawn down ! That left David L and Pete battling to get something from their games, from unpromising positions. Eventually Pete drew an endgame having entered it a pawn down and David created enough threats with his King to persuade his opponent that a draw should be accepted.
