Decisive Round 4 game - Malkiel v Beaumont


It is with great sadness that I have to report that Michael Wood ( Downend Chess Club ), Mike to so many, passed away on Friday 14th October

At Downend, Mike held the role of President for the last fifteen years, and Treasurer, Captain and Chairman before that, Mike had always had the best interests of the club at heart and especially valued good sportsmanship in all his dealings, which go far beyond chess. Of course he also served the league for many years and was greatly respected by all who came into contact with him.

Here is one of his games that I had the pleasure to watch and admire back in 2003.  He shows all of his 50 + years of playing experience as he produces a fine attacking game against a very handy University player many years his junior.
