Round 3
Disappointing result for Scotland 1, losing 1½-2½ to Sweden 2. Peter got us off to a good start, winning his third straight game, but Phil missed out on a win and Gerald and Alastair have not yet found any form at all.
However, there was good news for Scotland 2 who defeated a higher-graded German team (Freibauer Niedersachsen) 2½-1½; Ian had a good win but after both George and Stephen drew, Douglas needed to hold on in a very complicated position. When he managed to engineer a forced repetition that was the result they wanted.
Tomorrow could well have seen Scotland 1 paired against Scotland 2 but (fortunately?) that hasn't come to pass.
