A close game considering both teams started with just 2 players each! I manged to draft in the Woodbridges for the B team and Ross and Ronnie for the C team. Ross finished first with a fine win, this was quickly followed by Ronnie Powers win on the
bottom board. My game v John was very close, I opened up with 2 pawns down! But then managed to get the exchange up and both pawns back. John had a serious mate threat and was just one move away from mating me, it was very tight but when I managed to steal one of his bishops he had no way out so resigned. The top board was a close tussle both players Queened pawns in an exciting end game but with only seconds on each clock the game was agreed a draw, Tony's flag did fall but Mark sportingly offered the draw!

On Wed 6th Feb Heywood C team came up against the youthful but well drilled Tameside B team. John Crompton with black on table 3 played against Pauly’s London System and despite managing a strong defence finally succumbed to a passed pawn and combined Queen/Rook attack. On table 2 James Wildsmith playing black renewed his previous match against Mohammed and once again they had a close match. Unfortunately James lost after a too and fro tussle leaving things looking bleak at 0-2. John Pickersgill on table 4 played a London System opening with white against Jude with John managing to take a couple of pawns around move 19 and then swapping off pieces to bring about a close end game. John finally managed to break down Jude’s defences after promoting a pawn so at 1-2 It was all down to the result on table 1 where Derek Marsden was playing Kyle. Derek playing white was down a major piece around move 15 but Kyle was running short of time. With Kyle putting on the pressure Derek made a brave Rook sacrifice to open up Kyle’s defences and then took the initiative with several checks using his rampant Queen. With Kyle down to his last few minutes he could not afford to spend too much time thinking about his moves but despite sustained pressure from Derek Kyle managed to force a draw with only 17s remaining on his clock. The crowd that had gathered to watch the end game seemed to appreciate the tussle and came away with their own versions of ‘if only he had done…’ . Tameside won the match 2.5 to 1.5 but it was a close run thing and maybe the result will be different next time.
