The D Team eventually started the New Year for the club with a 3½-2½ away against SASCA C. Wins for Milan, Eric, Marek, and a draw for Gordon. Tuesday the A Team journeyed to a dark, remote, threatening, Pilsley Miners Welfare, biting winds blasting unchallenged across the open moors, and beat Clay Cross 5½-2½. Wins for Jon, Jeremy, Ian, now on a roll of two, Kev, with two queen sacrifices in three moves, and draws by Chris, Kieran, and Paul B. Wednesday at the Harlequin...the C Team played Wombwell, who'd beaten them 3½-2½ in the first game of the season. An unconventionally conventional win for Kev, a jammy dodger win for Paul B, and draws for Andrew, somehow, Ian and Oliver, 3½-2½, scores reversed and honours even for the season.

It was never as bad as it looked... I remembered the lesson that Kev taught me at Stannington and held onto my bishop so I could play for the win. Turns out there wasn't actually a win there as it happens, but I did have the satisfaction of seeing the game was drawn about 3 moves earlier than Richard :-)
