A2 v Newark 2 27.03.19 Our consistent recent play was kept up against a team desperate for points. Newark have some very attacking-minded players. Most of the games were very sharp, but as the match advanced it became clear we stood well. Bob looked to have a very dominant position, which Keith somehow held. David's position was also very pleasant, and he converted without difficulty. Neil agreed a draw. My opponent played an unsound sacrifice, leaving me a piece ahead. Seeing this, Nigel agreed a draw to put us 2.5 -1.5 ahead, seemingly assured of victory. The script suddenly changed when I blundered my Rook. Fortunately I still held good drawing chances. Ian knew a draw would not save his team from defeat, and went all out for a win long after this was a practical possibility. He could have saved himself but went down fighting, trying to save his ship. 1 D Levens 1-0 D Jazdzewski 2 N Graham draw G Ladds 3 P Morgan 1-0 I Burridge 4 R Taylor draw K Aiton 5 N Wright draw G Bosworth
Result 3.5 -1.5 With 1 match to play, we seem to be battling with Nomads 1 for the runner-up spot in division 2. |
