Flood Cup

 

Round 1 results:

Tony Morris vs. Brian Willcock – postponed

Rex Scarf 1 Tony Howes 0

Andrew Robinson vs. Mark Pendrith - postponed

Chesley Cutler 0 Martin Laizans 1

 

Two games were played tonight to commence this year’s Flood Cup.

The tournament has a compact eight entries and therefore games will be played according to a round-robin format draw.

 

Rex produced a big surprise to defeat Tony Howes.

With a pawn down, Tony had a difficult position which was however not insurmountable until he overlooked a move Rex played which led to checkmate.

 

Martin claimed after his game that he had the game won at Move 8, and he certainly had a strong advantage at this stage.

Chesley was playing his first tournament game with long time controls and fought out the game against an experienced opponent.
