Outmatched at Lewes
LEWES – 5.5 —-BEXHILL -0.5
On Tuesday 13 Jan, we travelled to Lewes. We were outrated and outmatched, apart from Janis on top board who proved a King and Bishop’s pawn on the 7th rank can draw against a King and Queen by offering the pawn to gain stalemate in the corner. The rest of the team, out-rated, lost after full-distance struggles. Results ( from Sussex Chess) :
