Early draws were agreed in Andrew and Andrei's games before I clocked in with a win on bottom board. Mark then agreed a further draw not knowing that Mike was in some difficulty on top board and the count-back scenario was in play. As it transpired, Mike fought on bravely but, in an already hopeless position, he was saved further pain when his flag dropped.
