A six-board team assembled on Saturday 8th December, and despite the occasional technical hitch, a good time was had by all. A thoroughly outclassed Devon team were surprised to find themselves drawing 3-3 at the finish. You might think that if Pete Langdon had the bottle to play Bxg6 at the end, Devon might even have won, but then again, Audbergur Magnusson was kicking Dave Regis all over the board [despite giving away 300 rating points], so we had better not dwell too long on what might have been.
