Horsham Club Championship 2014-15: Harbott – Mansson
I made a start to my club championship games for this season yesterday. I was Black against Peter Harbott, whom I have played many times over the years. The game turned out to be another tricky encounter.
Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Higgs – Mansson
My Rook game on Tuesday against Anthony Higgs sparked into life after a dull opening led into an equally dull endgame. A risky move by me, followed by a dubious one a few moves later, gave him the chance to … Continue reading
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
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.
Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Mansson – Roberts
Last night I was up against Dix Roberts in the club championship. The game saw me gradually building up a strong position against Dix’s Modern Benoni. Dix slipped up under the pressure, leaving me with a winning position. However, I … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Mansson – Harris
My third Club Championship game of the season was on Tuesday night against Mick Harris. The game started with Mick choosing the offbeat Budapest Gambit as Black. I managed to secure a small edge out of the opening, which increased … Continue reading

Last Tuesday I played my second Rook game of the season. I was pitted against Peter Harbott, whom I have played many times, most recently in the Horsham 1 – Horsham 2 match, where I contrived to lose from a … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Comley – Mansson
Last night I played my first Rook (Club Championship) game of the season. I was Black against Ian Comley. Ian played the opening weakly and soon ended up in an inferior position. This was surprising as he had played the … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Stimpson – Mansson
I finally finished my games in this year’s club championship last night, with a win over Phil Stimpson. Phil surprised me in the opening with an unusual 6th move, and initially has some uncomfortable pressure on my position. However, within … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Taylor – Mansson
I played my penultimate game in the club championship last night, against Paul Taylor. Following a sharp opening, in which I missed a couple of chances, the game ended up in an interesting, unbalanced endgame. After a long period of … Continue reading
