On Monday 4 February, not long after their 3-1 away win against Steynton B, Aberystwyth played the rematch. Only the top board pairing was the same; Rudy van Kemenade, playing Black against Mark Paffard's Reti Opening went for a Dutch style counter-attack, and got the kind of complications he thrives on. As expected in such contests, both players missed chances, but White's king proved the more vulnerable. Adam Watkyn-Jones lost a pawn early on in a Queen's Gambit Declined against Colin Denham, but his kingside pressure eventually won him a piece. With queens on and only a couple of pawns left for each player, there was still a lot of play left in the position when Black lost on time. Julie van Kemenade's early central pawn break against Scott Hammett's d4 led to an exchange of queens and a less sharp position than she usually gets in the middlegame; White's doubled pawns were not enough of a weakness to unbalance the game. Finally, in a match where the more complicated positions worked out in favour of Aber, James Cook's Exchange Variation against John Miller's French Defence left him with a weak isolated pawn and a worse ending. The match finished 2½ -1½ to Aber.
