MALVERN Chess Club had their usual level contest against Kidderminster in the County League.
On the top boards, Lee Davis and Brian Turner both played carefully to secure draws.
Ian Clarke scored Malvern’s only win, breaking into his opponent’s position and gaining material.
Leigh Canham adjourned his game with some possibility of winning on resumption.
Geoff Marchant also adjourned but will be doing well to save a draw.
John Knee drew his game after a difficult opening.
A close overall result is expected.
