Captain's Corner
A comfortable win. The top two boards and 'dependable Kev' sailed through. Masrura ran into time difficulties and succumbed in the end game. John ('I wish I'd practised more') eventually prevailed and I scraped a draw after running into a prepared Yugoslav Attack in the Dragon (9.0-0-0). Who said that RxN on c3 was always productive?! Merry Christmas to all our readers...
