The first chess night for 2013 saw 7 players come to play some friendly chess matches, and one tournament game.
45 Minute Tournament 2013
Results:
John Ryland 0 George Flitcroft-Smith 1
John had a gilt edged opportunity to start his year with an upset win, after George over-reached with his queen and allowed it to trapped up the board.
George swapped the queen for a rook, and John had this advantage for much of the game.
A few opportunities were missed when John had a queen and bishop against rook and knight, and after a few blunders George had his remaining knight while all the other pieces were off the board.
George only had 7 seconds left on his clock at the end, but despite this was never seriously threatened by time trouble during the game.
