Dear All,
The first team returned to winning ways with a convincing win against Stockport Reds. Alan was first to win with a nice game, finishing by playing b1=N+!!
Then Daniel won a very attractive looking sacrificial attack. On the way home he said it was unsound, but it looked pretty to defend against over the board to me.
I finished next. A typical boring positional game from me where I was able to sacrifice a pawn to open up lines against the opposing King for my heavy pieces. A nice tactic at the end finished it, but it wasn't particularly tricky.
As we got to the end of the night, Michael's position which looked great to me earlier did not look as good as it had. However, he had it all under control (of course) as he swapped all the pieces off and left himself a trivially winning ending.
And so we were 4-0 up with Paul and Alex adjourning. Paul looked to have a huge position throughout the game but, when he finished he was a pawn down and, having looked at the game he has since resigned. Alex was up against it for a fair bit but there is still play in it so will be resuming some time soon.
Cheers
Sean
