This was the third head to head encounter of the season for the D and E teams and it ended drawn after a hard fought match.  In my game against Barrie, I played another Vienna which of course invited a tactical battle.  Both players missed open goals but eventually I had a couple of advanced passed pawns which were enough to win provided I could survive a double rook invasion of my position.  I did manage to stay on my feet and went on to win.  I saw some of Joseph's game against Peter which seemed to be even and open for a long time before Peter managed to get a decisive advantage.  I didn't see any of the games on boards 1 and 2 and just saw the end of Terry's game against Neil.  This finished with a neat mating attack but I have no idea how the game went before that.  Anyway it was enough to tie the match.  If anyone would like to publish their games please feel free.
