Time controls in practice

I've updated the MSCL page of the website, see tab above under Juniors, with information on the new time controls in the League. Hopefully this will go some way to clarifying any confusion! (If you have any quibble or it's not clear let me know.) With the two 'home' matches played - 1st v 2nd and 3rd v 4th - we've managed to play the default time control on every board without a problem, in fact the games have tended to finish earlier than before. Every match has been conclusive and the captains haven't had the old mopping-up operation while we try and decide who - or if - anybody won!

The first team beat the second last night with Luke returning to play for the first team and Will and Michael Cain making their debuts in the expanded first division. A good match which was far from being a whitewash for the second team.

John Henshaw        1-0          Robin Jones
Luke Rutherford     1-0         Anna Charpidou
Geoff James           ½-½       Michael Hamilton
Paul Batchelor        0-1         Will Wright
Paul Selby               1-0          Michael Cain
                            3½ - 1½
