Horsham Club Championship 2021-22: Mansson – Stimpson
My last game in this year’s club championship was against Phil Stimpson. It proved to be an unsatisfactory game for both players, who both had chances to win, but failed to take them. In the end it was a draw, … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2021-22: Higgs – Mansson
On Tuesday I was up against Anthony Higgs in the Club Championship. I needed a win to keep my hopes alive, but the game ultimately ended in a draw, meaning that Mark Broom is now champion – congratulations to him!
Horsham Club Championship 2021-22: Taylor – Mansson
My club championship game against Alex Taylor featured an intriguing endgame, where I had a queen against a bishop, but his pawns were all easily defended by his bishop, and moreover he had a protected passed pawn on the seventh … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2021-22: Heath – Mansson
Last Tuesday I had a tough game against Chris Heath in the club championships. The game developed in my favour at first, as my opponent’s Grand Prix Attack didn’t seem to be going anywhere. However, I started to play indifferently, … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2021-22: Mansson – Broom
Yesterday, I played my first club championship game for over a year. I was up against Mark Broom with the White pieces. The game worked its way towards an apparently solid draw, as the players both ran short of time … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2019-20: Mansson – Broom
Last night I played Mark Broom in the club championship. I gained a comfortable position out of the opening, but then my attempts to complicate didn’t bear fruit. A series of inaccuracies saw my position go downhill; eventually I ended … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2019-20: Roberts – Mansson
My third club championship game of the season, against regular opponent Dix Roberts, ended in a draw by repetition. As Black I not only equalised, but also gained the initiative. However, I didn’t make full use of my chances and … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2019-20: Higgs – Mansson
I followed up my win against Alex Taylor in the club championship with a draw as Black against Anthony Higgs. An unorthodox opening saw us reach an endgame that was favourable for Black; however, I misplayed the position and gave … Continue reading
