• Jim O'Neil (1797), ½-½, Richard G Carter (1799)
• Alistair Forrester (1212), ½-½, John Palmer (1104)

Don was out calculated by Richard K in a complicated clash.

Jim and Richard C both played with caution and came out of the opening with a balanced position. Jim tried to create an opening on the kingside only to see Richard C move into it. Jim only had a few options to defend and had to repeat and Richard C had to repeat to stop Jim obtaining the attack.

Ally and John were moving to an endgame where Ally had lost a piece but had active rooks. As Ally attacked, John defended, then Ally attacked, John defended. Neither player was willing to risk the full point by deviating.
