Match Report
Author: Phil McConnell
Date: 6 Apr 2017
The South Hams Rapidplay team recovered from a 2½ - 1½ deficit at half time to win the second half 0 - 4, thus winning the match by 2½ - 5½.
On Board 1, as white Steve produced a draw in a tight game, but as black he converted a superiority of material into a won end game.
On Board 2, David had two cracking, complicated games against a talented young opponent, and played brilliantly to "out-tactic" him in both games.
On Board 3, as white Phil moved far too quickly at first, and blundered his queen on move 7. There was no recovery after that. But he recoved as black, winning with a nice attack on his opponent's uncastled king.
It was a similar story on Board 4, with Tony losing very quickly as black due to playing the opening far too fast. However he redeemed himself as white, winning convincingly.
So, revenge for the 2½ - 5½ defeat which Newton Abbot inflicted on us at home earlier in the season.
Thank you to Newton Abbot for an enjoyable evening.
