Marple A v Buxton

A game that didn't quite go according to plan!

First to finish was Glenn, who was unable to secure any advantage and drew. Then Michael also finished when, despite being the aggressor in a Q+P ending he was unable to force anything. Then Daniel unexpectedly lost. I didn't see much of the game but he appeared to have lost his queen for rook and knight and his opponent made his advantage count. Meanwhile, I had managed to blow a nice position by playing a combination which, far from winning a pawn (as I thought) lost a piece! I managed to generate some play which looked tricky but was hopeless. So we needed Alex and Sarah to draw. Both tried valiantly and just when it looked like we might get out of jail both opponents resourcefully found draws.

Let's hope for a better result against Stockport Reds next week!
