A very interesting and enjoyable match to watch! 
Despite the scoreline, BA put up a good struggle - but my feeling is that you can't agree draws so early with 2 decent 'white' positions. It puts too much pressure on the other guys playing against top-notch opposition. There is an argument for 'getting something on the board early' of course.
Anyhoo, thanks to all involved Now all i need is someone from each (traditionally winning) team to offer to write-up a report for the magazine
