Our visit to Maidenhead last month resulted in a ½-5½ defeat. For the return match we were slightly stronger while they were not quite so strong, so we managed to double our score.

A great win for Rob against an opponent who outgraded him by 30 points – very well played! Paul was unlucky: he chose to sacrifice a knight when his opponent found the only defence. If he’d sacrificed his rook instead he would have had the advantage.
