The Eight Board League Knockout
between Bath & Clifton finished all square 4-4 with Clifton winning
on board count.
First to finish was John
Waterfield v Greig Sweetland in a Bishop v Pawns ending where John
was able to secure a draw by forcing off all the pieces. Bath
then swept into a 3-1 lead after wins by Matthew Payne & Peter
Cusick but were pegged back when James Cobb & Gareth Morris
converted their advantage into wins to square up things up on the
night. The final game to finish was board two where John
Curtis looked to be winning but was low on the clock, after checking
whether a draw was sufficient to win the match on board count John
sacrificed Rook & Knight for two passed pawns to secure a draw and
conclude the evenings play.
