Thanks to everyone for their support. I definitely agree with Craig's comments about the games - a lot of good chess on show here.
Nice comparison from Hamish re Ben's endgame. A few weeks ago we ran a training session for the Teams. One of the positions I played through with my group was the famous Saidy-Fischer N v B endgame. The idea of infiltrating with the King is very similar. Ben played the "Fischer side" extremely well on the day, so it was no surprise when he found the winning plan.
