The Great Escape
In tonight’s Division 2 match between Adastral Park and Bury St Edmunds B, Adastral’s Board 1 Ed Kirkham managed to con his higher-graded opponent into a draw. Two pawns down with a piece en prise, Ed played …Nd2 in the following position:
After a brief think, Bury’s Rob McCorry took the bishop on a6, only to be hit by …Re1+ and …Nf1+. Perpetual check!
Nice One Ed! Always expect the unexpected is the lesson here.
