Match Report

Author:  Phil McConnell

Date:  14 Apr 2016

Written by Phil McConnell on behalf of Steve levy.

On Board 1 Steve was up against a very strong player, who played very well and inflicted on Steve his first defeat in the Torbay Leagues this season. One defeat in 18 games is still a mighty record!

On Board 2, Dave also faced a very strong player, yet managed to go a piece up with a winning position (and much more time left than his opponent). However he then blundered a rook. He still managed to fight back to a draw, but a very frustating result when a win was within his grasp!

On Board 3, Phil got a strong kingside attack going which ultimately his opponent was unable to fend off. A very good win for Phil against a much stronger player.

On Board 4, Dennis (short of sleep due to a minor injury) felt he had a poor game by his normal standards.

Overall, not a bad result considering the strength of the opposition. A good evening. Well played Newton Abbot A.
