Mark Hebden's patient maneuvering gets him the full point, so five share first.

That Bishop and Pawn against Bishop ending was a tablebase draw and so going into it was a last throw, when the fifty move limit was otherwise approaching . It did however switch over a couple of moves from "anything draws" to "only one move draws" to "everything loses".Barry Sandercock wrote:Mark Hebden's patient maneuvering gets him the full point, so five share first.

With unreserved apologies to John, here it is:AustinElliott wrote:John Cox v Keith Arkell tomorrow is another of those flashback ones for those of us of, er, appropriate vintage to have played the 70s junior circuit.
