Horsham Chess Club Championship 2022-23: Heath – Mansson
Last Tuesday I played my game with Black against Chris Heath in the Club Championship. Although both sides had their chances, the game ultimately ended in a drawn rook and pawn endgame.
Blast from the Past: Young – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
The last game from the section I need to cover is my Black loss against J.Young. In this game I played rather feebly and lost rather easily.
Blast from the Past: Wilkinson – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
My win against G.Wilkinson as Black was a pretty mediocre game. As in the Musgrave game, White played a dubious gambit. Following a series of innaccuracies by both players, the game resolved to an endgame with an extra pawn for … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Musgrave – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
There is a small mystery regarding my win against R.Musgrave. The game ends after my opponent’s 19th move. The position is roughly level, so it is unlikely that White resigned because of the position on the board, especially as there … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Kennerley – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
My game as Black against R.Kennerley was a short draw. My opponent allowed the Marshall Attack, but chose an innocuous line and agreed a draw while we were still in book.

Blast from the Past: Mansson – Cross, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
I remember being very disppointed with the outcome of my game against G.Cross, and looking back at it now, I think this feeling was justified. Up to my 40th move I had played well in slowly building up my kingside … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Mansson – Butterworth, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
My game against A.Butterworth was another disappointing loss. While my memory of the game was negative, having looked back at it, things are not quite so clear cut. While my choice of system against the Modern Benoni was far from … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Mansson – Green, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
The next game I am going to look at is my other King’s Indian from the section, played against G.Green. I was White again and the game followed the same line as my game against M.Ali up to Black’s 12th … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Mansson – Ali, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
It was interesting to go back and have a serious look at my game against M.Ali from my first BPCF Open Semi-Final. My memory of it was rather negative, but actually looking at it again, things do not seem quite … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: First BPCF Open Semi-Final Round Section
As a result of my success in my first Preliminary Round section in the BPCF Open, I qualified for a Semi-Final section, which eventually started in the following year. Here I faced much tougher opposition and my result indicated that … Continue reading
