Ian Robertson writes:- Unusual score for an allegro but Stirling could only raise 3 players and since a Dunfermline player who was originally due to play was held up at work the other Dunfermline players opted not to replace him and instead play a 3 v 3 match with double defaults on board 4. A close match with it all going down to the final game to finish between Gordon and Sandy. Gordon was down to a few seconds but had a heavy material advantage and forced mate. However that was missed and though Sandy only had 2 pawns left victory on time was his. Thanks to Stirling for the visit and for putting up with the background noise from what was a packed club room.
