My game became easy when Frank pinned my queen with his bishop letting me take said bishop! I didn't see enough of the other games to comment, but you can see that Johnny and Matt also won.
A good opportunity to say what a pleasure it is to play at the Navi now. The very generous donation of boards, sets and tables from Martin and clearest.co.uk has coincided with (not sure if that's good grammar Martin?) the new tenants making huge improvements to the lighting. They also turn the heating on! And the whole pub is smarter and livelier too.
Where are your comments?!
ReplyDeleteI had a relatively standard queen's Indian opening which culminated in me having a backwards pawn. I spent most of the mid-game trying to set up the board in order to push it forward.
ReplyDeleteWhen i finally did he blundered his queen with a pin on his king which had castled queen side. He resigned at that point.
Perfect grammer, as ever. I'll let you now if you make a fishcake.
ReplyDeleteThat was MC, by the way.
DeleteThe venue is loads better. Graham and Stacey (landlords) seem keen to have us there, and Terry's diplomacy has worked wonders. Graham told me the other day that he usually puts the heating on for us a couple of hours ahead - much appreciated as that room can be perishing in winter.
That is really nice to hear. thank you for the update and good luck. antenna cancello
