Captain Gerry’s thoughts:
I’m afraid there are no mitigating factors! I was ahead most of the way through and missed a probable win just towards the end by ignoring a bishop check that would have won me a pawn and probably the game, but he let me have a pawn earlier on, for little compensation so a draw by default was probably a fair result. Nigel managed a draw in a tricky situation where both players had only seconds to go and they decided a draw was the best result given the lack of time. Peter Gill said he went wrong in a drawn looking position, while Peter Housden had an up and down game, but went wrong towards the end. Poor Mac was out-graded by 35 points, so his game result was in line with that. All told the MKC team averaged a rating of 130, against our 117, which seems quite high for a C team! We’re looking forward to the MKB team game in a couple of weeks
