28.10.2014 - Brighton 1 vs Crowborough 1
23rd October 2014 Gerry had a good game against John Henshaw which was finally agreed a draw after ending for adjudication. Gerry was the exchange up for most of the game but John had a very strong bishop on d6 supported by the e5 pawn effectively making Gerry's un-castled King very

We narrowly voted in favour of supporting this motion and I passed our views on to our representative at the meeting.I can report that the motion was defeated yesterday on a card vote at the ECF for 85 against 138.Therefore it would seem that adjudications will be a feature of games in the Mid Sussex Chess League for many a year to come....
