Woe is me.
Curses and more curses. I was an exchange and pawn up against Uby but contrived
to lose. All credit to Uby for finding enough decent squares and coordination
for his remaining pieces to get me thinking too long and into a bit of time
trouble which ultimately caused the blundering back of the material but to
lose the resulting equal rook + pawns ending was just idiotic. Have I already
said curses? I really feel I let my teammates down after their sterling efforts
against a strong Grangemouth team.
Michael fell
early on when Alan produced a smart tactic netting the exchange. Fred then
played out a solid draw with Ian in a game where most of the material came off
fairly quickly. Stuart played a superb game gradually taking command against
John and then smoothly converting his slight material gains. Jim against Dougie
could have gone either way and a draw was probably the fair result but initial
(pub!) analysis had us all finding more wins than losses for Jim. Dougie had the
final chance with an extra piece but his time trouble prevented him finding the
most accurate moves to convert and he had to give the draw before time
expired. Last to finish was my nightmare ending.
All in all a
good fight but probably already eliminates Dunfermline from the league title.
Once more - curses.
