We had a look at Wombwell's ratings before the match. It seemed the teams were evenly matched, apart from Board 1, who was probably going to get beaten. Captain Kev volunteered Jon as lamb to the slaughter so the rest of us could enjoy our evening's work. The match began. Jon's King was soon exposed by what was, technically, an unsound sac on h7 but, practically, having your King in front of your pawns against a higher graded opponent is always going to be difficult. Our heartfelt commiserations. While Jon was suffering nobly for the sake of the team the rest of us enjoyed a mixture of good fortune and good moves and all won. 5-1 was a great result for us (apart from Jon of course). A big away win makes the journey home that much more enjoyable.
