Securing the Div 5 title (DE).

An understatement from Dave. The D's have done extremely well in their first season and totally dominated the division. After an initial defeat, there has been no stopping them (JR).

      4 - 0  

Our return fixture against BGS once again yielded maximum reward, taking the full point on all 4 boards. Graham with black on Board 1 won a piece early to the detriment of his development, but managed to get his pieces out and convert his advantage into the win. In mild time pressure with slight positional advantage I played a rather dubious Rook sacrifice on the h-file, but fortunately my opponent didn't defend well. Andrew played an unintentional Queen sacrifice, leaving him slightly behind, but he quickly took advantage of blunder by his opponent. Dan sealed his win quickly to give us the maximum points (DE).

    Horfield D   Hanham C
1 b Dave Edmonds ½ - ½ John Griffee
2 w Kornel Boross 0 - 1 Brian Jones
3 b Angela Williams 1 - 0 John Edwards
4 w Robert Sage 1 - 0 Richard Kirk
      2½ - 1½  

The D team scored a narrow victory over Hanham with the result only being decided on the last game. My game reached a static endgame with a static pawn structure and no real chances for either player after only an hour - a draw was agreed. Kornel found his position overwhelmed by the opponents pieces not long after and resigned, leaving us 1/2 point down. Robert played a nice Knight sacrifice to win the exchange and with a winning endgame took the win on time. Now 1/2 point up, all three results were possible and Angela kept us waiting right till the end. Her opponent defended well against a very strong attack despite the white king being chased all over the board, but came out badly on time. With little more than a minute left on his clock, white tried to claim a quickplay draw, but, with plenty of normal play left, effectively resigned to give Angela the full point and the team win. (DE)
