Match closer than it looks, Board 4 was a default due to Lancaster struggling to get a replacement at the last moment. Afraid I did not see much of the games myself, as I was coaching a junior player instead. Well, coaching maybe a bit strong! Understand James was up an exchange against Jim, everyone thought this was planned by Jim. Seems James had it all under control. Did not see anything of Phil v Danny. The game on Board 3 was won on time, with the clocks showing just 3 seconds left on Black's clock when the flag dropped for White. The position was very interesting, and looked to favour White.

Additional match information.

I can report that Danny was doing quite well against me on board 2 and had an edge shortly before overlooking a tactic which exposed his king to a winning attack.
