| 2 - 2 | ||||||||
Paul "Panzer" Talsma crushed his opponent in a 22 move miniature, in which his opponent did not look remotely battle-ready. Andreas found his queen snared in a crafty trap. Martin was "Arkell-ized" into submission in a 67 move marathon of almost unrelenting tedium. (Perhaps Keith finds such games interesting.) Andy snatched a last minute equalizer in a dramatic tussle with former British Champion, Paul Littlewood: our game of the week.
We remain joint leaders of Div 1 / Group B (with
Arkell’s Angels & Surbiton 1).
