Horsham Club Championship 2017-18: Mansson – Harbott
Last Tuesday I won my club championship game against Peter Harbott. Look back over the game I was rather lucky. On move 20 I gambled with a risky move that offered a piece for apparently good compensation; fortunately, my opponent … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2017-18: Mansson – Stimpson
My latest club championship game against Phil Stimpson was an unsatisfactory draw for both players. I was White and my opponent played an interesting gambit line against the Ruy Lopez. Neither player played entirely accurately on the way to a … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2017-18: P.Taylor – Mansson
Following my debacle against Ian Comley, it was good to get things back on track in the club championship with a win over Paul Taylor. I was Black in a Queen’s Indian, and the position was roughly level out of … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2017-18: Comley – Mansson
I suffered a disappointing loss in the club championship last night against Ian Comley. After slipping into a worse (but defensible) position after the opening, a combination of good play by my opponent and some further inaccuracies gave him a … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2017-18: Higgs – Mansson
Last Tuesday I played my game against Anthony Higgs in the club championship. I was Black and managed to obtain a decent position against my opponent’s unorthodox opening. After some complications, we ended up in an endgame which turned gradually … Continue reading

After starting with a draw, I was back to winning ways in the Horsham club championship last Tuesday, with a victory over Nick Warren. It was a hard fought encounter, where both sides made mistakes and had their chances. I … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2017-18: Mansson – Heath
I started this year’s club championship with a draw against Chris Heath. Perhaps there was an element of good fortune in that he had the chance to gain a definite advantage, although given that neither player seemed to get much … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2016-17: Mansson – Higgs
I played my final game in the club championship last Tuesday. I already knew that I had won the competition, as the only person who could have caught me, Anthony Higgs, had just agreed his adjourned game against Phil Stimpson … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2016-17: Roberts – Mansson
I played my penultimate game in this year’s club championship a couple of Tuesdays ago. I was up against Dix Roberts, always a tough opponent, although he has been having a bad year so far. The opening was a hybrid … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2016-17: Kington – Mansson
After a run of wins in this year’s club championship, I finally drew a game. I was Black against Paul Kington, and the game developed into a fairly normal Hedgehog position. I took the chance to open the position up; … Continue reading
