8. Kalyan Kante (black) 0 – 1 Raj Bhopal

BA 1.5 – 6.5 Edinburgh – well played Edinburgh.

Thanks to Castlehill Chess Club for letting us share a venue – the lovely Dundee University Chaplaincy. They had a similar experience to us – “coming second” to a very strong Cathcart side with only one win – Declan Shafi upset Roddy McKay with a very nice attacking win that can be seen here:
