Last week Neville entertained us with his short coaching and history session before play commenced. It wasn't as exciting this week as we adopted an interim code of conduct to set the foundation for a fair and enjoyable playing environment.
Games
Reg summed up his win over Carey, "You won it and then you lost it." Despite and early two pawn advantage Carey got low on time and let Reg in the door.
Charlie played solidly against Phil to enter an even (!?) endgame with a rook each and 4/5 pawns. Charlie couldn't find a way to hold it and resigned at the stare of defeat.
Vincent faced an agressive f5 from Dylan and some early tactics lost their sting for both players when Queens left for lunch - even draw. Kevin was struggling to against Russell, when the latter suffered a case of planning a line and forgetting - quite serious as the queen was quickly shut in by Kevin. Despite a rook down play continued and Russell's horses ran well - Kevin was unlucky. Nigel a piece and a 7th rank pawn down found a way of drawing which only had one way out. Look for all checks and captures!
