Bo. 66 Scotland (SCO) - 62 Ireland (IRL) 2½:1½
24.1 GM McNab, Colin A 2441 - GM Baburin, Alexander 2502 ½ - ½
24.2 IM Greet, Andrew N 2431 - IM Collins, Sam E. 2495 0 - 1

24.4 IM McKay, Roderick M 2349 - IM Heidenfeld, Mark 2382 1 - 0
John won with one of his BbS variations against the Sicilian, doubling black’s pawns and playing f4.
Roddy's opponent got his knight trapped on b1 and was always going to lose.
Colin sacrificed the exchange and at one point was better but only drew.
Andrew’s GM norm chances took a knock when he played a premature e5 and lost a pawn.
At the pro-Kasparov party after, several players gave a musical demonstration including Nigel Short on guitar.
