Grantham 2 begin 2012 with a win

Grantham 2 played host to West Bridgford 2 in their latest match of the Nottinghamshire League 2 season. Unfortunately, the New Year celebrations seemed to have taken their toll on West Bridgford as they only turned out with 3 players and so defaulted the bottom two boards. On board 1, Ivan David struggled to eek out an advantage and in the final endgame position it is a matter of debate that his opponent should have resigned (you can read more about that on Ivan's site here ). Trevor Palmer and Ben Mason both drew their games comfortably to leave the final score as 4:1 and leaves Grantham 2 in second place in the league.
