Return match against Poole
Return match against Poole and a battle for top of the league.
In my game on board 3, I was comprehensively outplayed and came up against an opening I had no knowledge of, so that didn’t help. Pawns being pushed just about everywhere, restricted my space and eventually a knight sacrifice didn’t really cut it. After that it was all downhill.
Board 2 looked evenly matched and finished while I was reviewing my game. Graham managed to checkmate Tim. Although Graham did state that he thought Tim had let him back into a game that he was winning.
Board 1 was next. Time was running low and I watched as Tarik produced a solid ending with positional and material advantages forcing Stuart to resign.
Final game was on board 4, between John and Damon, which was an edgy affair, down to a rook and knight, with a few pawns on either side. There was a fair bit of manoeuvring by both, until Damon offered a draw, sealing the match and top spot for Poole. I think John accepting the draw was the right thing to do, as it appeared to me, that his position was starting to deteriorate.
Well played Poole.
