Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2013-14: Horsham 1 – Worthing 2

Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2013-14: Horsham 1 – Worthing 1
After an absence of nearly a year, I returned to Horsham’s Mid-Sussex League team on Tuesday, when we faced Worthing 1 at home. Unfortunately, I played a very poor game (I plead tiredness!) and went down in 25 moves. Anthony … Continue reading
