Report – 4 April 2008
Flood Cup
Results:
Kieran Lyons 0 Andrew Robinson 1 (on forfeit)
Greg Colwell 1 Russell Lyons 0
Nick Kospartov 1 James Hiller 0 (on forfeit)
Unfortunately two games were decided by forfeit, with Kieran and James unable to attend.
In the other game Greg was fortunate to come away with a win, and he demonstrated to Russell after the game a series of straightforward moves that led to a queened pawn and victory. After this chance Russell had a bishop and two knights against a queen, however a lack of co-ordination between black’s pieces resulted in white’s queen picking off the pieces one by one on an open board.

Quote of the night
“He must have great powers of observation to pick the inferiority of my endgame over the other parts of my game” – Brian, commenting on Brendan’s assertion in last week’s news column: “by now I knew endgame wasn't his strongest area”.
