Captain's Corner

We put up a very good fight against a very strong Barnsley side who are top of the table and outgraded us on all boards.  Kevin was the 'main man' with an excellent win against his experienced opponent.  Mursal did very well and
he obtained the half point after his game finished up with bishops of opposite colours and five pawns each. Stuart at one point was two (isolated) pawns to the good and he played the end game well to earn a draw.  Ian could not recover from a lost a piece early doors and I lost out in a closed Sicilian.  Ken had a good position but gave up his fianchettoed bishop on Bg2 and then found he had no defence to an attack down the h-file.
