BOARD 4: JORDAN DEBUT. Ian Redmond’s experience told as he got the better over our Jordan playing his first game in a Thanet League competition. 1-0 down
BOARD 3: IN-FORM MICHAEL. The turning point came when Michael’s discovered check won a rook and cleared the the danger of Ray’s advanced pawn. 1-1
BOARD 1: LETHAL KNIGHT. Bill Tracey looks quite a find for Bridge at this level as I had trouble containing his knight which caused havoc deep inside my defence. I finally had to sac my own knight to avoid a mate but to no avail and had to resign. 2-1 down
BOARD 2: STEADY GRAEME. Bob could do nothing about Graeme always finding the right moves once he got the positional advantage. With a final swap off of rooks and queens, Graeme was left with a passed pawn out off Bob’s reach. 3-1 down
With only half a point now from two away matches, our home games will be vital to get back parity. Thanks to Bob for driving duty.
