On Friday 16th February our 3rd team had a home match V East Grinstead 2.
Our team, in board order was Luke, Bill T, Jo and Ben.
Luke lead the way with a fine win, in which he applied pressure from early onхand eventually forced a resignation.
I had a long match on board 2 with time running short missed a chance for a draw and lost my game.
Jo on 3 looked as though he had chances but eventually his opponent was able to make use of a passed pawn and Jo had to resign.
Ben’s game on 4 came down to a complex end game which looked drawish but his opponent made a very uncharacteristic error which cost him a rook and the game.
The final score of 2 each keeps our hopes up of avoiding relegation.
