Back-to-back away matches at Shirley saw impressive victories for the first team. Last Thursday, in the KO Open Cup we won 4½ – ½ (5 board match) and last night in the league, a 4-0 sweep.
2 out of 2 for Keatan (the machine), Bruce and myself. 1 out
of 1 for Paul and 1½ out of 2 for Javier against 2100+
opposition.
Javier won the interim captain’s best game prize for his
win against Phillip Purcell. A kingside attack against the dragon was well
defended by Phillip, but Javier pivoted decisively to infiltrate on the
queenside. It was wonderful to see and sublimely played. Chess can be a
beautiful. Gelfand would be proud.
