I was first to finish (see the game below, where I had Black), then David and Stewart agreed a draw, followed by Steve losing on board 1. Bill and Tony were both winning, but very short on time. Tony's clock ran out as his Queen and King hunted down Gordon's King - this finished a draw as Gordon had no material left. Bill was two pawns up in a Queen and Pawns ending, but with less than two minutes left didn't have enough time to convert this to a win, and a draw was agreed.

A mistake. 12 ... Bb6 keeps the bishop on the strong diagonal. I concentrated too much on connecting the rooks.
