 Black to play and draw
Monday at the New Barrack Tavern...The C Team played Stannington A. Wins for Simon, hacking at f7, and Milan pressing with major pieces against an uncastled king, and draws by Ian and Andrew meant Kev needed a draw for us to win the match. Last to finish, he was K+B v K+N+3 connected passed pawns down, It was looking unlikely. Most normal people would have given up, but it's always worth watching the finish to Kev's hopelessly lost causes, just in case. White promoted a pawn, consolidated, and then a couple of moves later this happened. Amazing. Again. 3½-2½.
Wednesday at the Harlequin...the D Team played 5/6 of Ecclesall D. A draw for Ian C on Board 1, wins for Eric, Marek, and the highlight of the evening Bill's attack to mate on g2. 4½-1½.
Friday?! The B Team rounded up everyone without a social life to face Rotherham Juniors B. Oliver drew on 6, Ian C drew on 8, but star of the show was Phil F winning on 4 against Lukas Muster. 2-6.

The magic of Kev! Beats my -17 swindle as well - it was mate in 9 after Be5 according to Fritz.
