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.
