its certainly true David,
I have been around longer than Daniel Thomas has been on the planet.
I hung around on Saturday evening only to find out that it was Daniel in round 4. I was rewarded by an inspirational text from Jacqui the night before the game stating " I hope you lose"
As in previous games we did not talk about a swift draw beforehand, therefore we were both out to win.
He nearly beat me this time - perhaps he can play better than me but it seems I am still ahead on swindling ability.
PS
Game was drawn, 4 passed pawns on the board but neither player dared break the repetition.
