Round 10 from Andy
Bo. 66 Scotland (SCO) - 90 Japan (JPN) 2 : 2
34.1 GM McNab, Colin A - CM Nanjo, Ryosuke 0 - 1
34.2 IM Greet, Andrew N - FM Kojima, Shinya 0 - 1
34.3 GM Shaw, John - FM Watanabe, Akira 1 - 0
34.4 FM Tate, Alan - Mitsuya, Naoto 1 - 0
Alan won fairly easily when white got his bishop and rook locked in the queenside when Alan attacked the kingside.
John's opponent allowed the manoeuvre N to g4 then f6 and was losing.
Andrew's GM norm went when he blundered a pawn in a level position.
Colin's game was very messy but at a critical moment when black played g5 he could have played Bxg5, Rg7, h4, h6, d7 deflecting the rook. He later lost.
We'd have the hardest possible pairing v Greece next.
