(1) Bryan Wood (123) - Kevin Marshall (114)
Stannington A v Nomads C, 07.12.2009

Kev had allowed the c pawn to promote but he hung on to his Bishop saying after the game, 'I needed that because I was playing for a win.'

1...Be5 2.Kd7? Bxd4
White is so far ahead that he can even afford to give up his queen for nothing and still have a totally won position.

3.d6??
Of course Nxd4+ still wins easily

3...Be5
Geoff thinks gave up too easily and should have played on in anticipation of the following sequence...

4.Ke8 Bxd6 5.Nf8 Kg5 6.Kf7 Kh5 7.Kg8 Kg5 8.Kh8 Kf6 9.Nh7+ Kg6 10.Nf6 Bf8 11.Ng8 Bg7# 0-1
