A great result tonight for Atticus 2 in Division 1 against Waterloo. Both teams were missing some players but more critical for Waterloo was the absence of the MCA's strongest player Gary Quillan.
On Board 1 Steve Kee returned from the Preston Chess Congress in good spirits and his performance always had him ahead in this game, his opponent managed to find some good moves along the way but with time running out Steve dealt a crushing blow.
On Board 2 Andrej had a great position and gave little opportunity to Colin Horton as he slowly overwhelmed Colin's defence.
On Board 3 Tom tried his best to get something out of the position but eventually a draw was agreed.
On Board 4 Luke seemed to be on top but his opponent fought back well and with little time remaining was able to force a draw out the game.
On Board 5 Giorgos seemed to be in little trouble and managed to force a fine win towards the end.
On Board 6 Brian had a win right at the end as the clocks ran out but was in a comfortable position by then,Graeme had been on the offensive out of the opening but Brian with some sound play turned things in his favour.
On Board 7 Steve was on top early on against Scott Bradshaw, Scott managed to get some compensation towards the end but was well behind on time and his flag fell after 27 moves.
