Not sure it was ever that clear Andy. You could have delayed the f4+ push and tried for a better version of it - can't think of another point in the game where you had a better chance. Well played though - pressing against a 2500+ player is a good effort.
Unlike the Olympiad, there is little respite after a heavy defeat. Only Wales are weaker on paper but are certainly no pushover should we play them, although the general form of our boys suggests we can win a match (or even 2) before the end
What are the conditions like in Warsaw? Just heard from Helen Milligan on Facebook that her (official?) hotel in Opatija, Croatia at the World Senior's is a flea-pit
Hopefully our guys playing there have better luck
