The B Team had a lovely win on Monday night against Stockport A. I drew first, followed by Paul, Jamie and Ioannis - all accurate games. It all came down to the last two matches involving John and Michael. John was two pawns down and was very short on time. He said himself that he contemplated resigning at one point... However, using great technique he turned the game around and was creating dangerous checkmating threats against Alan's king. Alan still tried to win with John's king exposed in the middle of the board but eventually Alan's time was as low as John's and there was no way through so Alan took a perpetual.

This just left Michael's game which looked like a fairly level endgame but using excellent technique Michael completely outplayed Paul and won us the match. A great victory for Marple B!
