Results:

Stuart Wilson 1 George Flitcroft-Smith 0 (forfeit)

Paul Evans 0 Harvey Quaresmini 1

Brian Willcock ½ Andrew Robinson ½

(All Round 8 games)

 

Paul Evans managed to lose a queen for a rook and this hastened his demise against Harvey after an early promising position. Meanwhile on the other board Brian had built up a considerable positional advantage which more than compensated for the pawn material advantage held by Andrew, who had been restricted by his own pawns all game. Then at move 25 Brian offered a draw as a ‘psychological ploy’. Possibly to his astonishment, Andrew noted Paul’s predicament (he was just about to fall on his sword) and George’s inexplicable absence for the past 2 weeks (hence the forfeit), and agreed to Brian’s offer. Brian then ventured how he would have continued had the draw not been accepted, and Andrew regretted his decision somewhat!

 

Full details of all scoresheets to be provided by the end of the week.

Transfer

A few games were played with James’ team being on the losing end of all games, no matter his partner, until…… the last game when Andrew had Paul one move from mate and James held on against Peter for a win on time.
