Mike Jones, Joint Organiser, thinking he needed to win, turned down the offer of a draw early on in his game. He didn‘t need to win and he didn‘t even get the draw. In such ways does Dame Chess keep her subjects in check. Bank move to the top of the table - jointly with RBS/Americans. They will have been happier with the drawn match than reigning Champions, Barclays. Barclays 1 have yet to get in gear - someone will suffer when they do.
