Sussex League Division 1 2024-25: Horsham 1 – Hastings 1

Horsham 1 suffered a bad defeat against Hastings 1 last knight by a margin of 0.5-3.5. I did manage to draw with John Sugden on board three, but our other three games ended in defeat.

I had the Black pieces, and the game started with a Closed Sicilian. I managed to obtain a good position out of the opening, and after the position closed, there was some maneuvering before the players agreed a draw. Both were running short of time (not much more than five minutes each plus the 30 second increment) and the opposite-coloured bishops made things rather drawish.

I give the game below with some notes.
