League Match and Club Championship Summary
League Matches
Heywood were in competition twice this week. On Tuesday the team were sent to Rossendale to face up in the East Lancs Chess League Division 2 tie. The players pulled out the stops in this match with a strong performance taking 4.5 out of the potential 5 points. The one drawn result by Mo was itself a decent performance against a player rated some 90 points higher.
Wednesday night on the other hand was a mixed bag. Playing against Bury 2 in Division E (1) of the MCF League, on paper, Heywood should have taken this tie easily however Bury played well and scored strongly against a couple of our players. Notably Paul Curran dropped his Queen in an epic blunder from a winning position and promptly left the building! The tie finished 3-3. Well done to Bury and to all of the Heywood players involved.
