Thanks to Nathaniel for coming in at very last moment.
The match started quite late but my match against Mike did not last long as a Sicilian resulted in an early queen swop and Mike had a positional advantage but offered a draw and I had to take it!
On board 2 the queens also came off and was a battle of the minor pieces but neither player could find any weakness in their opponents position and a draw was agreed.
On top board Mike seemed to have a dominant position with a big attack on the kingside with Allan struggling to get out his queenside pieces. In the meantime Nathaniel was playing ( as he does ) a very enterprising game and John fell into a clever sacrifice giving Nathaniel a better ending. At this stage Poole looked likely victors but top board then exploded with Allan giving up a Knight for 2 pawns but his remaining pieces suddenly became very active and they sprung forward and Mike could not hold the game with Allan forcing resignation.
On board 4 looked like was going to be a draw but unfortunately Nathaniel played one weak move resulting in John obtaining a passed h pawn which could nt be stopped.
An excellent match and probably the right result.
