Flood Cup

Gary Sands v Andrew Robinson – postponed

John Roper 0 Jim Petrie 1

John Ryland 0 Russell Lyons 1

Brian Willcock v Tony Howes – postponed

Ray Adams 1 James Hiller 0

 

Round 5 result:

Andrew Robinson v Brian Willcock – scheduled for tonight but unplayed

 

Three games were played tonight. James held out the longest with a knight against a bishop in the endgame. However some early weaknesses in his pawn structure came back to haunt him later in the game and Ray managed to start his tournament with a win. Both Johns went down again but put up a creditable fight.

 

Gary Sands has been allowed as a late entry to the tournament and will replace the bye making this now a ten player round-robin.

 

Miriam and Phillip came for their first night of chess at the club. Andrew and Gary provided some warm-up games in preparation for next Friday night’s St David’s Day tournament.
