| 3 | Allan McDiarmid | 1740 | 0 - 1 | Paul Girdwood | 1524 |
| 4 | Euan McDiarmid | 0 - 1 | Eric P Smith | 1621 |
Charles and Crawford got into mutual time trouble with Crawford missing opportunity for winning attack against white king. Draw agreed after time control reached.
Allan gifted a piece to Paul.
Eric won a few pawns against Euan and with the better position setup a nice mating attack to finish.
Stuart looking for killer move
Adam played well but Stuart gained an advantage building pressure on white position.
On move 35 a tactic to win a pawn backfired due to threat of bank rank mate, and fortunate that Adam did not see the needed follow up.
