As others have mentioned, I finally got the first (half-)point on the board for the team, although it possibly should have been a full one.
Steve once again found himself up against high-class opposition, Helgi Dam Ziska being the Faroe Islands Sports personality of the Year a while back, and also a student in Scotland for a while. It's really tough playing such strong opponents day-after-day and Steve has a well-earned day off tomorrow.
Again, however, the other boards didn't go our way despite having decent positions - at some point we are due a few points in a row when we finally get the hang of converting some of the good play.
I did ask Simon Williams to give us a shout-out during commentary, but the Jim Morrison bit wasn't my doing - honest!
Round 5 tomorrow sees us pitted against Belgium and it would be nice to put a few points on the scoreboard before the rest day. All the guys are up for it, so maybe now's the time to show we can play!
