Jack Campbell Rosebowl - win against Lenzie

Crawford Macnab

26 March 2023

We won 3 - 2 against Lenzie in the Jack Campbell Rosebowl.

A team of strong improving juniors from Lenzie were the opposition.

Ralph managed to win a bishop but in the end his only pawn was blockaded so no way to win.

Gerry accepted a draw in a level ending.

Eric won a minor piece and had strong central control. Carefully converting to win.

I won some pawns but had to give one back to progress. Probably still winning chances but with clock running low a draw was likely to secure a team victory. Playing on could have equally resulted in a loss.

Richard was a pawn up but simplification meant it was going to be tricky to get full point.
