First win for Newcastle B

I'm posting this result on behalf of the captains, who seem to have forgotten :) Newcastle B got its first victory despite a bad start, as the first result to be registered was a victory by Denzil, that gave Macclesfield the lead in the match. Nic, on the other hand, managed to get back on track after a mistake in the opening, but he didn't want to win too quickly, so he decided not to fork his opponent's king and rook with a pawn supported by a rook. Meanwhile Alan agreed a draw, so Nic finally decided to end his game pushing his central passed pawns and forcing Joachim to resign. With the match result still undecided, Hambel and Anthony agreed a draw, so all eyes concentrated on board 1, where Reinhold managed to get an edge in the endgame and to give Newcastle B its first 2 points of the season.
