Match Report

Author:  Phil McConnell

Date:  27 Nov 2017

On Board 1 Dennis was up against an old adversary Tony Tatam. Dennis was unable to find a weakness in Tony’s solid Queen’s Pawn opening and a draw was agreed.

Alan playing White on Board 2 had an interesting positional battle after an early exchange of Queens in the London system. He was a pawn down in the middle game but had better piece development. However neither player was able to capitalize and another draw was agreed.

Jim made his Div.4 debut on Board 3 but unfortunately whilst trying to defend a pawn let his opponent’s knight free to rampage on his back ranks with fatal consequences.

John playing White on Board 4 had a very strong position early in the opening after his opponent blundered. Keeping up the pressure throughout the middle game he had a potential checkmate in 7 at Move 30. However the opportunity was missed and the advantage slipped away, John ultimately losing following what he called “a self-inflicted fatal move”.
