My team had a hard fought win against Kidsgrove on Tuesday. They were all long games. First to finish was our Board 1. Alan said it was one of the toughest games he has played 0 – 1. I offered to play on board 1 but my offer was declined. Alan is a big part of my team and has played on board 1 whenever he is available. Thank you Alan. My game was next to finish and i beat Julian Cook for the first time 1 – 1. Boards 3/4 were very late finishes. Keith played very well in a tight game and his opponent lost on time. Well done Keith you’re getting your confidence back. 2 – 1. Phil was in big time trouble, less than 20 seconds on his clock. The 10 minute games he plays on Lichess comes in handy when he’s short on time. Eventually a draw was agreed. Well done Phil. I for one would not be able to move that quick under pressure. 2.5 -1.5. Well pleased with my teams efforts.
Cheers, Steve
