A poor result for Ely, but an enjoyable evening.
I failed to find the main line again in the From Gambit, and then blundered a piece. There was compensation, but I didn't have the conviction at the time to play it as required.
Richard fell to a back rank mate. I didn't see the other games, but we were outplayed in what should have been a even match based on grades.
