Strange week,played two,drawn two. First game I was the crushed, second definitely the crusher.
Wednesday evening,arrived at West Bretton, Dave P informed me, we only needed 2 1/2 to win the match.
Boards 3-6 had a plan, Dave and I would win, they would get a draw between them,hey presto!!
I had seen Bien play before and thought ,very solid-with black I should be happy to draw.
Bien arrived a couple of minutes late 1e4 a Sicilian,another long night-14....Ng4, I expected a resignation and back to my local before eight-thirty. I should've picked up another piece on move 16, but was waiting for the resignation that never came.
Feeling that I must mate my opponent, I wove my web and then Bien promptly chewed me up!!

Boards 3-6 scored 2 1/2, so much for that plan.
The immoral game!
