Limit League, 28 Nov 2019, Marple v Ashton. Result 2-2
Hard-fought draw
1 Tony Doust (black) = Ben Newton
2 Martin Cutts 1-0 Phil Shaughnessy
3 Neil Dainty 0-1 Tyrone Supatan
4 Paul Maxim = Mr Newton
On top board, Tony earned a good draw in a French defence against yet another Ashton wunderkind. His young opponent, graded 114, had a reasonable advantage by move 13 but multiple exchanges led to a sterile position.
On board 4, Paul sacrificed his queen to gain a stalemate.
On board 1, I fell asleep around move 12 and was soon well down (on Stockfish) after Phil sacrificed a bishop for two pawns and an attack. Dogged defence reduced the lead and, at last, I made a decent move that snagged a knight and ended Phil's attack. I had knight, bishop and two pawns against his horde of 7 pawns. Draws were offered by both players and declined by both, but I was able to queen a pawn to take the full point after three hours.
