Selkirk B v Kelso: Great game by Cameron Carter
A 3-1 defeat for Selkirk B at the Town Arms on Tuesday 16th May; but wait for this... there was a total points deficit of 1801 Elo points between the teams! Yes, 1801 points. Given that discrepancy, the surprise of the evening was Cameron Carter's (1325) amazing slugfest with Keith Aitchison (1678) in a game which had material imbalance almost from the start. It's on this website, so please play through it. You won't be disappointed.
