Match Report
Author: Cliff Peach
Date: 18 Mar 2015
South Hams Chess Club don't often out grade their opponents but this time they did on all 4 boards,they got off to a good start with Cliff Peach winning a pawn & Rook on moves 10 & 11 from then on with careful play the result was in no doubt, Steve Levy slowly piled the pressure on board one against Ramesh, who in the end sacrificed a bishop to unbalance the game but this tactic was not going to prevent Steve from winning the game a couple of moves later, so 2-0 up but the match was not in the bag just yet, Ben Wilkinson playing an attacking careful game was putting his bogey man on the chess board, J. Wray, under pressure through out the game but Jared found good moves to hold the game, then Ben made an unforced error getting his knight pinned and resigned immediately, that's the 3 rd game against Jared that Ben in good positions has lost, we all have those players for some reason we just can't get a result against how ever the game is going, the match now seemed to be heading for a 2-2 draw with Ken Ashby being two pawns down in the end game, Ken sacrificed his Knight to get rid of one of the pawns he then played well in a tight corner against bishop and pawn with his lone king to force the draw which gave the South Hams victory.
