Unfortunately George went material down early on in the game and was unable to recover from this setback. Carl played a fine game keeping the initiative and pressure throughout.However his opponent luckily found a perpetual check position towards the end. John played well and after a long game had a fine mating position with bishop, knight and rook.The only won game for us, this evening. In the middle game,I put my opponent under a good attacking pressure. However he wriggled out and at the end due to time pressure a final decision was made later via Fritz. Martin gave a good performance but unfortunately did not win on this occasion.
This season we have won 6 games, drawn 1 and lost 2. A commendable performance considering this is the first season the club has entered a sixth team. It looks as if we should be in third position in Division 4 following Brighton&Hove 5th Team and Woodpushers 2.
Thank you to all those who have played for the team this season and contributed to its success.
