Robert Isted Week 4

Flu wiped out 4 players from Wednesday and soem last minute arrangemnts were made. "Never say draw" (Reg) was left with little choice in his game against Phil. Phil held a supported passed pawn but could do little with his king held at bay by Reg's rook and passed pawn. Draw.
Charlie (King's Indian Defence) sacked a bishop for a promising attack against Russell who was expecting the raking bishop on g7 would pick up the loose c3 knight. This lapse made defecne easy and a win to Russell.
Andrew kept his good form with a win over Nigel.
In the Reserves there was only one game with Mitchell dominating before panicking aginst Cohen's two passed pawns. Mitchell chose to swap and simplify and lost his advantage and the game.
