Match Report

Author:  Phil McConnell

Date:  25 Feb 2015

Outgraded by over 50 points, South Hams Division 2 team achieved another excellent result. On board 3, Cliff was first to finish, gaining a half point from a game that never looked to be anything other than drawn.

On top board Steven Levy sealed a further half point against Bill Ingham in another closely fought game.

Under the cosh from the opening Roy Greenhalgh emerged into a virtually lost endgame. His opponent however, catastrophically misjudged the fact that Roy could stop his a-pawn from queening after an exchange of rooks and left Roy an easy win in the resulting aftermath.

Last to finish was Ben on board 2, who once again had a game that neither he nor his opponent could understand. Whilst gradually accruing a greater material advantage, Ben’s position never looked safe, as Charles Doidge had tactics available to the end.
