Leaders slug it out

David and Phil played a tough even game and finished with a draw in a rook ending to share the lead in the Robert Isted.
Russell walked into a trap against Nigel and spent 30 minutes extracting his king to safety and getting his pieces out. Despite a huge time deficit a passed pawn and an attack on f2 helped Russell over the line.
Carey saw too much! The knight sacrifice looked good but he saw a line of defence but in later analysis Andrew missed this and Carey would have secured a brilliant attacking win. Nevertheless points went to Carey.
Dylan secured a win over Kevin.
In the Reserves - Gemma couldn't defend after dropping a piece against Anthony but secured a draw with Cohen. Anthony df Cohen.
Next Week
