A most unexpected victory against regular title contenders. An early draw by John set us on course. and the team then set about their work. Steve couldn't hold out on Board 2 but the rest of the team delivered wins. You would have to dust off the history books to find the last time the first team scored a hat-trick of wins on Boards 3-5. Gambit were not at full strength. Their lower boards are regular members of the Gambit 2 team , who now become more detached at the foot of the table.
