LATEST NEWS
Derby B came agonisingly close at Burton & Lichfield A, leading 1½–½ after a win on board four and a draw on board two before losing 1½–2½. Fighting spirit on every board was not quite enough on the night.
Derby E's unbeaten start ended with a 3½–½ defeat away at Burton and Lichfield E, in a match made possible only by three players stepping in at short notice. Sam's board-one draw was our only score, while time pressure proved costly on boards two and three.
Derby A fell to a 2½–1½ defeat away to defending champions Belper, with losses on the top two boards proving decisive. Leonid's resilient win on board four was not enough to prevent the holders from claiming an important scalp in their title defence.
