Match report from our captain Bill Tracey
On Friday 1st November Bexhill 2 hosted East Grinstead 2 in the 2nd Division of the Sussex League.
Over the last 18 months East Grinstead have managed to recruit some very strong players,
and this showed as they fielded a NM on board 1!
Janis fought hard but to no avail and eventually had to resign.
On board 2 James found himself in a very unusual game. Early on he trapped his opponents Queen and won it in exchange for a Bishop and 2 pawns.
Unfortunately he found himself in a very undeveloped position which required a lot of work to remedy. Eventually the players agreed to a draw.
Based on ratings Leo and his opponent were very evenly balanced and so it proved as the game ended in a draw.
On board 4 Luke continued his fine form of late and established a small lead going into the end game
and eventually forced a win.
Final score 2 all.
