Undoubtedly our star of the evening was John Quinn who forced a win in the closing minutes of the match against a well-rated opponent. John made superb use of the black squares to exploit the entanglement of his foe's kingside pieces. He was supported by excellent draws from Ben Clissold, playing in his second match for the club and rising talent, Gary Smith on board eight. We also drew on boards two and five.
