Match Report

Author:  Ben Wilkinson

Date:  11 Jan 2014

Entertaining a strong Teignmouth division 3 team, South Hams players turned in an excellent result.

On board 4, Dennis took an early point with an unstoppable passed pawn proving too strong for Bill Tindall.

After analysis, Roy proved that his draw against Ray Chubb was fortuitous to say the least, however over the board Ray was unable to find the winning combination in a complicated middle game.

Cliff Peach managed to break his loosing streak against strong opposition, in the guise of Norman Tidy. Although dropping a pawn in the middle game, tenacious defence left Cliff hanging on to the half point. Analysis after the game was split as to wether this was a fair result or not.

The final board to finish was board 1, with Ben Wilkinson finally converting an early oversight by his opponent. However, the game could have resulted in a far simpler win if he hadn't have missed the chance to win a sec on piece.

Overall, a very good result for South Hams.
