Downend beat Bath 5 -
3 in the Knockout Final
Stephen Meek was first
to finish but his win was quickly cancelled out with Lewis Martin's
loss to Adam Musson. Downend's new Hungarian player Attila
Reznak notched up a win on board 3, Jerry Humphreys then produced
the customary draw leaving 4 boards to battle it out. Chris
Russell died a slow death as his Rook was no match for the two minor
pieces but Mike Brigden made full use of his queenside pawns to
cancel out the loss of the exchange to give Downend another point.
David Buckley held on for a draw by perpetual as clock pressure came
into play, leaving Andrew Gregory needing to win to try and win the
match on board count but Charlie Fry proved a cool customer as he
saw out the game not without some scares though!
