After the high of their excellent win against Surrey, the Sussex Open Team came crashing down to earth with a heavy defeat to a powerful Middlesex side, who had an average grade of just over 201. However, in my individual game I managed to score an excellent result, drawing with IM Colin Crouch as Black in a complicated game. Both sides had their chances at various point, but in the end Black decided to bail out with a draw.
I give the game below with some notes.
