Another 'strange' result as given in the results pages is Alan Jelfs 1-0 vs Alastair White.
We did play, under tournament conditions, but the game was drawn. I came along to watch, and Alex 'volunteered' me to play as a substitute after Alan Brown called off sick. Alan Jelfs was awarded the full points for this round since his genuine opponent was missing. However it is a little disconcerting to see the game 'scored' as a loss for me in the results. I trust this will not be reflected in the gradings... a draw (as signed for) will be bad enough for me but not too serious...
