Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2013-14: Horsham 1 – Worthing 2
Not long after taking on the Worthing first team, we were faced with their second team, this time away from home. Our first result was a rather lackluster draw between Don Banks and myself, where I equalised easily enough, but … Continue reading
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

In round two, I moved up to play for the first team. We managed to secure a narrow win against Grantham Sharks 2. Rasa and I drew our games fairly quickly. I obtained a marginally superior endgame, but soon committed … Continue reading

County Match (Open) 2013-14: Sussex – Surrey
Today I played my first serious competitive game since May, in a county match for Sussex against Surrey. Unfortunately, I proved to be extremely rusty, and made a serious error on move 16, from which I was unable to recover.
4NCL Division 1 2012-13: e2e4.org.uk 1 – Wood Green 2
While e2e4.org.uk 1 had hoped – and managed – to beat Warwickshire Select 1 on Saturday, there was little expectation of a similar result against a strong Wood Green 2. In the end, they did lose, but only by the … Continue reading

4NCL Division 2 2012-13: e2e4.org.uk 2 – Wessex
While my game on the Saturday had been dull, my game on the Sunday was anything but. I was faced with Michael Yeo, a dangerous attacking player armed with the White pieces.

Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Marshall – Mansson
Last night I played my Rook game against John Marshall. In a typical Najdorf position, John ran out of ways to improve his position, while I was able to build up mine. After swinging my queen across to the kingside, … Continue reading

Last weekend saw rounds 3 and 4 of the 4NCL season played at Staverton Park (Division 1 and 2) and Daventry Court Hotel (Division 3 South). I was moved up to the first team for this weekend and played on … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Cannon – Mansson
I’ve just agreed a draw in my adjourned Rook game against John Cannon. I had the better of the position for a while, but by the time we reached the time control, the position was drawn.
