We played in the first two rounds of the SNCL yesterday. We shared a draw in round one with Edinburgh. Wins for Ian Marks and George Thomson with David Bonella getting a draw resulted in a 2.5 draw.
The next round we faced an extremely strong Aberdeen side who were graded from 21?? down to 1707 on board five. Mark Ainsworth, Ian Marks and George Thomson all managed to get draws which sadly saw Aberdeen win 3.5-1.5.

Good result for you, George, v. Aberdeen, drawing comfortably with an opponent over 300 pts higher-rated.
Tempted to pencil Aberdeen in as promotion possibles. Not many other teams can boast an Olympiad player on board 2!
