More Autumn Cup Round 2 + Instructive Ending


Here are the results and cross table for the E Group, also hit by weather-related absences.

And below that, I have stolen a very instructive ending from Andrew Brockway's Facebook page!
In the initial position shown, he was black against Don Stracy, and agreed a draw. When he got home, he put the game through the computer and realized that there was a win to be had. I'm not sure I would have found it, would you?
