Board 2 ended quickly when a rusty Cip missed a tactic I think he would normally have spotted.  Zander and Jon's game was drawn, but I think Jon had a small edge in the final position.  The other two boards were tense affairs. Martin looked like he had the advantage in the R and P ending and should have won after he managed to exchange the rooks.  A subsequent mistake allowed Franz to get away with a draw.  John looked like he was doing well on top board, but then allowed Kevin's N and Q to get past his outer defences.  This cost John a piece, but Kevin then failed to find the simplest win and the spectators had to stay an extra half hour.
