LATEST NEWS
Derby B came agonisingly close at Burton & Lichfield A, leading 1½–½ after a win on board four and a draw on board two before losing 1½–2½. Fighting spirit on every board was not quite enough on the night.
Derby E's unbeaten start ended with a 3½–½ defeat away at Burton and Lichfield E, in a match made possible only by three players stepping in at short notice. Sam's board-one draw was our only score, while time pressure proved costly on boards two and three.
