Four Black Wins and a Draw!
Derby A suffered a setback hours before their match against Belper B, on Tuesday (25/2), when John Tompson had to withdraw.
Gina stepped up and streamed her game against Andy Townsend live on her Twitch channel winning in just over 20 moves.
Steve lost a piece and despite dogged resistance eventually succumbed.
I had a comfortable edge on board 4 when Martin mixed things up with an unsound sacrifice which I failed to cope with.
Losing 2-1 at this point Kevin, refused a draw offer and with Alan in time trouble forced through a pawn winning the game and securing a point for the game and the match.
Four wins with Black!
