Fareham welcomed a strong Basingstoke team on a glorious autumn evening, with both teams a couple of key players short, it proved to be evenly matched on all boards. Adam reports that he was battered on b2 but just managed to hold on. My game on b4 was very even ,Mo pushed to win but paid the price and gave me the point. B5 was next to finish as Ted and John slogged it out for a draw .So we were up 2-1 b3 agreed a draw next after a complicated game, so the attention switched to b1. The leagues top two rated players played a game beyond my understanding, Roland won after a technical rook and pawn ending. So 3.5-1.5 . Thank you Basingstoke for a match played in great spirit best RU
