Round 6:
Norway 2 – 2 Scotland
This was always likely to be a close match against the team just above us in the seedings. My good form continued with a successful King-side attack and a win in 29 moves. Soon after Alastair D’s game was agreed drawn in a fairly blocked position.
David was a pawn down and in a lot of trouble again but somehow managed to salvage a draw. That left Steve who was a pawn down in a very technical rook ending. At the critical moment he lost the thread a bit and allowed his opponent a winning tactic.
Another drawn match and another decent result. However we expect to be up against it tomorrow when we play 5th seeds Moldova.
