Two league matches tonight, two losses for the Guildford teams. We can't say we were out-rated since in both cases the opposition was of a similar strength. In the Surrey League Division 1, Guildford 1 lost 2.5–5.5 to Epsom 1. Clive Frostick and Julien Shepley picked up our only wins. Roger Emerson came away with a half point. Guildford still lead the table, level on points with Epsom and with a superior game points total. But it was Epsom's night, and they have a match in hand. In the Surrey Border League Rapidplay Division 2, Guildford RB lost 1–7 to Farnham RB. Liam Ireland took the solitary point.

Upstairs, Trevor Jones took the Beginners' Group through some of his positional games. Next door, the internal rated rapidplay reached 50 rounds for the season to date. The Organiser and Wonderboy A remain the only players on 100%.
