Striking victory at the crucial moment and the team winning on all four boards even makes it more special. I\u2019ve come very close on a few occasions to edge out Magnus but couldn\u2019t capitalize on it. Glad that I\u2019ve finally done it. Credit to all the players, team and most important our supporters.
