Macclesfield turned up with a very strong team and in the end we lost narrowly. In my game, the black side of the French I faced 2. Nf3 for the first time and got into trouble in the opening. I did recover material eventually but by then I was very short of time and fell to a sucker punch in the meddle game. Consequently I also saw little of the other games. On board 1 I saw the final position which was fantastically complex and Tony K resigned finding no satisfactory defence. I saw some of the endgame on board 2, where Andy skilfully converted his advantage in a nicely played endgame. Chris got a draw on board 3 with very little time remaining on his clock; Chris has published this game in an email. Terry also got a draw, but I didn't see this one. Well done all.
Marple D now lead Division 3 with the same points as Macclesfield B, but they have a game in hand!
