A very close run thing!
  • Boards 2-4 looked (very superficially to my eyes ) drawish throughout.
  • Steve L overlooked a zwischenzug when slightly better in an ending.
  • Steve P played a winning combination one move too late (when it no longer was), got lucky when Hunt played inaccurately but fluffed his chance and was fortunate to get away with a draw – see game if you must!?
By such small matters are matches (and championships?) decided.!?
