Bedford club players competed in the second round of the Bedfordshire Individual Championship, hosted by the Bedford club yesterday:-
- Paul Habershon beat Marc Obi, having had slightly the worse of it for most of the evening
- Steve Ledger and Richard Freeman drew a dour struggle that went all the way down to K+P v K
- Gerry Nolan beat Ben Pike but not before Ben missed a number of tactical shots that might have changed the result
- Steve Pike drew a crazy game against Graham Borrowdale – having been well in control for much of the game, Graham blundered a rook in mutual time trouble and in a wild position found a perpetual check (not without a bit of help from his, by that time, punch drunk opponent)
- Jan Laming’s game against Adrian Matthews was postponed until next week
