Match Report

Author:  Phil McConnell

Date:  30 Mar 2017

A 2-2 draw was the result of a tightly-fought contest between two well-matched teams.

South Hams went 2-0 down after Roy succumbed to a tactic, and Chris lost a piece as a result of getting his queen trapped. Then Phil won after his opponent blundered a piece under time pressure - his opponent was trying to launch a counter-attack having gone two pawns down. So it was then down to Cliff, who needed a win to draw the match. Cliff was a bishop up entering the end game, and he made no mistake convering this advantage into a win.

An enjoyable evening. Thank you to Newton Abbot for your hospitality.
