Match Report
Author: Phil McConnell
Date: 21 Nov 2014
The first defeat of the season for the South Hams Division 3 team, and a well-deserved win for Torquay.
Board 1 was a tight and complex game, with neither player gaining a significant advantage at any stage. A good draw fro Dennis.
On Board 2, Phil allowed his opponent to develop a Queenside attack (with a strong fianchettoed Bishop controlling the a1-h8 diagonal) before Phil could get anything going down the Kingside. Phil was thoroughly outplayed, in fact.
Board 3 was another game that looked close for a long time, but the accuracy of Barclay's play prevailed in the end. That's 3 from 3 this season from Barclay!
On Board 4, Roy entered the end game a knight down, and although his opponent was starting to get tight on time, Roy couldn't prevent him from queening, after which it was all over.
