Match Report
Author: Phil McConnell
Date: 22 Apr 2017
South Hams fell to a strong Tiverton team who outgaded us by over 100 points.
First to fall was Phil on Board 2, whe was in an uncomfortable position, with under-developed pieces, from the opening - and his position gradually got worse and worse.
On Board 3, Alan put up a good fight (and was complimented by his opponent) but succumbed in the early end game.
Board 1 was an even tussle throughout and Steve agreed a draw with his opponent after 35 moves.
Last to finish was Board 4, where Cliff lost the exchange, which his opponent returned in the end game in order to achieve a passed pawn. For a while it looked as if this might be a misjudgement, but Cliff's King had to leave his queenside pawns unguarded in order to prevent the passed pawn from quening, and then the end was inevitable.
Thus ends our first season in the DCCA Mamhead competition. Results haven't been outstanding, but we look forward to putting up a better fight next season!
