Captain's Corner
Many thanks to Les Day who was a late replacement and was
still in Barnsley at 7pm! I won the toss and Mithun elected Black - he
played a Modern Benoni but I think he wished he hadn't. Ken's game looked quite
tight in the middle
game but his pressure on the King's side eventually told. I grabbed a pawn
and paid the price since my opponent was able to counter by creating an outside
passed pawn which I could do nothing to stop. Kevin's game was a typical
swashbuckling affair - opposite side castling and pawn storms on either side but
eventually his opponent won through with an extra pawn advantage. Ian had
a comfortable win once he'd broken through on the Queen's side and Les was able
to counter attack very effectively despite being material down at one stage.
Overall a drawn match on the night.
