The first to finish was Theo who was very unlucky to fall into a disguised checkmate.
The battle of the Henrys went Crowborough's way with a good solid game by our Henry.
Then a very tense wait as Lachlan's game see-sawed one way then the other and culminated in Q vs R+N with each having lots of pawns. Lachlan managed to win after forking his opponent's King and Rook with his Queen.
The last to finish was the top board where a long term advantage was converted by Lilya and Thomas had to concede at 8:45pm.
Well played by all the players, home and away and a 2-2 draw was a fair result.
All the other players have left, all the spectators have departed, even all the biscuits have gone ! yet board one battle on.
