James continued his recent run of good form with another victory. He obtained two bishops for two knights in the early middle games, which he converted into a rook endgame two pawns up, before forcing his opponent's resignation. Bill was in trouble in the middle game, gave up a piece for some counterplay, but resourceful play from his opponent meant that his material superiority was too much. Steve won a pawn, then another one, but went wrong in time trouble at the end of the game. Two one down, my game proved decisive. I was in some difficulty in the early middle game and looking likely to lose a vital pawn, but an incautious move by my opponent allowed a tactical resource that turned the tables. With bishop, knight and pawn for a rook, with active versus passive pieces, and with Black's king cut off from the man action, even without best play my position was always winning, and so it proved. A good draw against a strong Worsley team.

James seemed to get the upper hand over his opponent early on, and won quite quickly. Dave established early pressure which he was able to turn into a material advantage of two Knights and a pawn against a Rook, before his opponent trapped his own Rook and resigned. From a stodgy Caro Kann I ended up in a King and pawn ending. If I went for the win I worked out that my opponent would Queen a move before me, and assumed that if not winning for him, then he'd at least be better, so I bailed out for a draw which made the match win safe. In the event I was wrong, and I'd have been the one with excellent winning chances. Meanwhile, Tarini, who was pressing for checkmate in her game, sacrificed a Rook, but had missed resources for her opponent which enabled him to stave off the attack and emerge with a winning position. Congratulations to Chorlton who were outgraded heavily on all boards, but played very well.
