On Monday, the A team entertained Stratford. Javier was black on 1 against the dangerous Ben Larkin, but after 5 minutes of play, and 20 moves of theory, a draw was agreed and Stratford’s main threat neutralized. A good start to the match.
Next to
finish was Keatan on 4. His opponent sacked a piece for a kingside attack but
Keatan cooly neutralized the threats, swapped queens and easily converted the
full point.
I was next
to finish and managed to win my first game of the season by boring Richard McNally
to death. So, match secured with just David on 3 still in play.
David
pressured Richard Dobedoe’s English style setup and won a pawn, but Richard
played well and fought back. With both players short of time and the game
chances swinging move by move, a draw was agreed.
3-1
winners, hopefully the start of a much needed march.
