Always a pleasure to welcome Southbourne. First to finish were Graham and Martin who had a very stodgy game and soon agreed a draw in a level position. Martin and Russell's game was more complicated but as pieces came off they too agreed a draw. Finn had looked better against Richard for some time and started accumulating material to bring about the win. Finally, Peter was a pawn up against James in an endgame with a long grind in prospect when James blundered an exchange and resigned next move. So a drawn match which given the rating differences between the teams felt like a good start to the season for Ringwood.

An even match

Many thanks to Ringwood for the warm welcome and tea & biscuits. The individual games were as reported by Peter. Russ was kicking himself he had not played on his position as post match analysis suggested he still had a little advantage. However, overall, it seemed like a fair result with both teams missing a player or two. We look forward to the return match at Southbourne.
