Playing against Alsager should never be taken lightly, as it is not wise to lower your guard when confronting a strong opponent.
Last Tuesday we lived up to this principle and secured three draws and one win, which resulted in a team victory. At first sight, this might sound just average, but once you realise that the opponent team’s rating was 400 points higher than ours, a draw counts as a victory and, in this case, it did so literally.
As for myself, I seem to be regaining some wisdom in managing time… or, to say it in a different way, this season, when time is running out, it happens when I am in a stronger negotiating position than my opponent, which is an encouraging improvement from last season… this is the ultimate proof that Martin was right to suggest a purple ink on my lucky pen.
