You wouldn't think that losing on board 3 two days previously was a great set up for playing on board two against the team that's currently at the top of the league. But it would appear that miracles do happen, and in this game my opponent sealed his own fate for me quite early on. How very generous of him.
So, a pleasing result after all then. I may have missed a strong move, and this gave black a chance to get back in the game, but he didn't take it fully and ended up getting squashed anyway.
