Report – 2 July 2010

 

Stuart Wilson Trophy

 

Round 4 results:

Jonathan Wilson 1 James Hiller 0 (on forfeit)

Greg Colwell v Gary Sands – postponed

Russell Lyons 1 Jim Petrie 0

Joe Langford 0 Brian Willcock 1

Mitchell Langford 0 Nathan Shaw 1

Tony Howes v Ray Adams – postponed

Kieran Lyons 0 Andrew Robinson 1

 

Also:

Gary Sands 0 Ray Adams 1 (from Round 11)

 

Once again Mitchell was involved in the last game of the night to finish, pushing Nathan all the way after a very even game.

 

Kieran assessed that she made a mistake moving the knight rather than the f pawn at move 11 that gave away the initiative. Then an oversight as the endgame approached allowed her rook to be trapped at move 25, losing the exchange and ultimately the game.
