Round 7
Better news for the first team today against Matadore Rheinland (GER). Peter drew with the Black pieces but this was followed by wins for Phil, Alan and Alastair in that order. Final score 3½-½.
The second team were playing Norway 5 (who endearing call themselves the 'Blindern Oldtimers'. Not as easy as it sounds – currently they are way ahead of Norway 4, Norway 3 and even Norway 2 in the standings. Douglas, Ian and Hugh all drew, but George was unable to repeat his heroics of the last two rounds. Final Score 1½-2½.
Tomorrow both teams play Finnish opponents; Scotland 1 play Finland 1 who have GM Westerinen on top board, but Scotland 2 should have an easier time of it against Helsinki who don't.
