Victory in ECCC Round 6 - Bedford Chess Club

Round 6 and we finally got a Dutch team 100 or so points lower than us on most of the boards. A rather impressive 5.5-0.5 win. Andy made short work of their 2278 FM on top board and I had a fairly fun game on board 6. Not run it thru a computer yet but I was fairly happy with my play 😄
