Match Report

Author:  Phil McConnell

Date:  21 Apr 2016

In the last Division 1 match of the season, South Hams completed the "double" over Newton Abbot B with a good away win.

First to finish was Ben, whose opponent resigned after 13 moves. Apparently this was a wacky opening - the game was over too fast for me to see any of it, so I look forward to seeing it on the club database of games!

Next to finish was David, who completed another of his good wins with his favourite opeing as Black.

Then - not so good - I resigned when it was inevitable his opponent would queen an advancing pawn. I had blundered a bishop on move 27 - it wasn't even subtle - I just put it on a square where it could be freely taken!

Finally, Steve triumphed over his old adversary Andrew Kinder, after going a piece up and forching "mate next move" when Andrew resigned.

A great result overall, and South Hams can be please with our first season in the top flight: played 8, won 3, lost 5. Next season is eagerly awaited!
