The Chess Edinburgh Premier Division for the 2010/11 Season began last night with a match between Edinburgh 1 and 2. The second team were weakened by the absence of a few of their regulars, and the match was closer and more hard fought than the final scoreline suggests. However:
Edinburgh 1 5.5-0.5 Edinburgh 2
Neil Berry 1-0 Chris McIntee
Andrew Green 1-0 Mike Ridge
Daniel McGowan 1-0 David Archibald
Hugh Brechin 1-0 Mark Sanderson
David Oswald 1-0 Colin Hutchison
Graeme Kafka 0.5-0.5 Keith Aitchison
On another note, the Richardson Cup draw has thrown up a cracking match for us against Edinburgh West, while the Spens draw has us away to East Kilbride in the first round.
