Five games were played tonight, the most notable of which was the game that Brian should have won but didn’t. As you will see if you play through the game, white’s 29th move is absurd. Brian was still visibly shaken after the game, but many onlookers were puzzled by this as we all thought he had got used to this by now. <BW’s reply – see below>
In other games Peter got a good position early on against Tony but could not hold onto his advantage. Likewise fro Stuart who found that John could just hold on, and then Stuart ran into customary time difficulties that he faces at the end of one hour games (blitz is beyond him!). Andrew managed to overcome Marty and Gavin beat Debbie in a re-scheduled game owing to the non-shows of their opponents.
The schedule has been slightly altered for some future games:
20 June: Debbie v James
27 June Andrew v Debbie
27 June James v Brian (BW said ‘I have been looking forward to this game all year!’)
12 Sept Andrew v Tony (Rd 11, from 5 Sept)
Brian Willcock (1189) – George Flitcroft-Smith (1500)

Quote of the night:
“Well you know how James didn’t come tonight…”
- Peter Hiller
Some explanation needs to be given for why such a lame quote of the night appears this week. Unfortunately, the best we can come up with is that it there was a confluence between a full moon and Friday the 13th, the result of which was that James and Mike obviously has other interests to pursue (separately, we hope).
“have to protest about standards of veracity on web-site.your correspondent lied through his fundament.my 29th move was not my normal gracious present to a deserving opponent. it was an xfiles move - one that I had rejected for the reasons that would strike any peruser of the game .i had intended to move the pawn but somehow (c.i.a. drugs?) I put my hand on the King so had to make the damned move.any more of this tabloid nonsense and I will have to launch my annual coup against the president,whatever sammy says..”
