It was wonderful to have so many people playing this evening.
Gemma played well to score two wins as black against Cohen and as White against Anthony. Cohen redeemed himself with a win over Mitchell to reverse the results of earlier games between the pair.
Game for History Vincent (possible leader) and David (leader on paper) entertaining game. "Vincent's game with David Hughes was quite simply hair raising. Can you imagine a position where both players seemed to have and seemed to NEED a draw by perpetual check. Vincent allowed this by responding immediately and his 11 seconds left turned into a fat comfortable two minutes. Almost beyond belief David checked Vincent's King so far across the chessboard that Vincent's King played a vital role when David was subsequently checkmated. So, short of time Vincent quite rightly stopped recording his moves... I found as a spectator that the game was so exciting and so unusual that I would like to include it in my next "Chess - Tasmanian Records"... David...was a most gracious loser" said Neville.
Neville v. Andrew according to Neville, "I made a complete mess of the opening but somehow got equality later and we were both happy with my offer of a draw. "
Phil was pleased the rub went his way after being in so many winning positions and g/drawing he was in a worse position but managed a win over Russell. Russell effectively changed plans to remove Phil's good bishop and won a pawn, then mixed up a tactic to be even, but squandered valuable time working out a the end game.
Peter beat Nigel.
Charlie has withdrawn.
See last week's post for the draw.
Meanwhile Juniors are off to Hobart for the Tas Jnr Championships.
