Club Championship
Good to see Brian back at the club and was unlucky to lose to Nick.
Sandy looked to have a winning position if he played pawn to e5 to block the centre but instead captured pawn on h5 which allowed d5 pawn to capture on e6 losing a bishop.
Sam Clucas got the better of Derek McCann in the battle of the new members.
Douglas and Isaac had an interesting middle game that eventually led to a drawn opposite bishop ending.
Allan had better space control and trapped Paul’s queen in the centre of the board.
