Captain's Corner
A narrow win thanks mainly to the bottom boards. Mursal on board 5, finished first having won material with some nice tactics. Stuart ran into problems with black in his favourite French Defence (where his opponent played 2. g3) and he lost when his opponent initiated a King side attack which eventually forced mate. Ken made the most of a mistake by his opponent and Masrura eventually capitulated after some brilliant last ditch defending. My game was dead drawn from about move 20 even though I was a pawn down. The match was won after Kev did the honours in fine style.
