Division 3 Result: 2:2
First of our New Milton B matches which we played at home. We had Steve Bolton on board 1 who managed a long but comfortable draw. Board 2 was Daniel Miles and after a very postional game it liquidated to an endgame with an even pawn structure and opposite coloured bishops. Draw. Rob Willington was on board 3 and was hard pressed for a time but managed to equalise the position and they agreed to a draw. Board 4 was Femi Oloyede who had a very complicated game and Femi offered a draw since it was a scary position though perhaps prematurely since they played on after agreeing to a draw and he would have won! Never mind a draw was still a good result overall.
