Scotland 1 - 3 Finland
A closer match than the scoreline suggests. Andy got in trouble in the opening, mixing a move-order, and never recovered. However, both Paul and Martin had solid positions but were eventually ground down, perhaps nerves playing a part. I managed to win after some loss of time by my opponent in an opposite sides castling position, but did my best to throw it all away at the end allowing a draw. Fortunately he missed it!
Tomorrow we have Wales who are slight underdogs to us so we will do our best to get some points!
