Firework night saw another visit to Wimbledon, this time to face the mighty Wimbledon A. There weren’t too many fireworks, but we came close to a result thanks, as usual, to Gavin and Mike on the top two boards.

	Wimbledon A		Richmond A
1	Marcus Osborne 197	0:1	Gavin Wall 222
2	Ivar Chavannes 198	0:1	Mike Healey 205
3	Robin Haldane 191	½:½	Chris White 167
4	Russell Picot 193	1:0	Richard James 170
5	Mark Dubey 176	1:0	Bertie Barlow 161
6	Phil Gregory 175	1:0	Ian McLeod 154
7	Tony Hughes 171	½:½	Max Wood-Robinson –
8	Nick Keene 165	1:0	Sampson Low 157
		5:3

In the adjourned game on board 6, Ian is a pawn down, with good drawing chances but, sadly for us, no winning chances.

Update: Wimbledon won the adjournment on B6, so win the match 5-3.
