Allegro Tournament

Nathan Shaw 1 Kieran Lyons 1
Russell Lyons 2 Greg Colwell 0
Only four tournament games were played tonight. Nathan won the first game against Kieran (yes, the same Kieran Lyons mis-spelt, but mentioned on Wikipedia!) on time in a position where he had the exchange up for the deficit of a couple of pawns. Russell was in better form than last week while Greg had ‘one of those nights’.
Peter Ford and his son Josh came to the club for the first time tonight. While Ray taught Peter the intricacies of the Budapest Defence, Josh played Greg’s son Mathew and came up with some stiff opposition. Later, at Nathan’s insistence, Andrew re-introduced the hitherto forgotten game of transfer back to the club. Andrew and Josh teamed up against Nathan and Mathew and 13 games were played between 10pm and 11:30pm. The finish time would have been even later had everyone gone along with Nathan’s plea to keep playing until his team won a game!

Quote of the night
“I heard that these players only got out of the book at move 34. That’s not out of the book, that out of the encyclopedia!” - Nathan
“My only chess book is Chess for Dummies” – Russell
“Are you saying that Greg should be reading Chess for those who lose to Dummies?” – Andrew
“Kieran isn’t allowed to look at the club website” – Russell
“What is he? Five years old?” – Nathan, who misunderstanding transfer etiquette sledged his team-mate instead of his opponents.
“It wasn’t your fault this time” – Mathew returning the sledge, exculpating Nathan from responsibility for defeat in game 10 (but not the previous nine games).
