BOARD 3: A WALKOVER. Michael waited for the allotted half-hour but Ian could not make the match. 1-0 up
BOARD 2: ANOTHER WIN FOR BOB. Our Broadstairs Bob soon looked in control with a piece up early, but Ray was having none of it and kept Bob at bay for a game fight. Finally Bob sacked his Queen to then gain a pin on Ray’s queen and Ray resigned with Bob in control with Rook and pawns against pawns. 2-0 up
BOARD 3: CLOSE GAME. Graeme came at my Dutch Defence with a lot of aggression and soon had me backed up and going nowhere. I then got the chance to swap off his most dangerous piece (a black squared Bishop) which allowed me freedom to breathe a sigh of relief and offer a draw, which was accepted. 2½-½ up
BOARD 4: WELL DONE, MICHAEL J. Last to finish, Michael pushed to the very end to complete our first win in the Walker this season .
3½-½ win. We now have Played 6 Won 1 Drawn 4 Lost 1 (Margate with 5 wins from 7 games now look untouchable to win the Walker this year.)
