Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Higgs – Mansson
My club championship game against Anthony Higgs last night saw my opponent confuse himself and blunder a pawn just out of the opening. As he also allowed the exchange of queens, my technical task was made much easier. Following this … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Mansson – Heath
I was back to winning ways on Tuesday with a decisive win over Chris Heath in the club championship. Following a dubious opening, I took control of the position, and my opponent was unable to find a way to wriggle … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Mansson – Roberts
Last night saw my final competitive game of 2011, as I took on Dix Roberts in the Rook. The game featured the main line of the Hedgehog System. Play followed the usual pattern, with White looking to expand and squeeze … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Mansson – Comley
I was pitted against Ian Comley last night in our club championship game. The course of the game was disastrous for my opponent. Following a lacklustre opening for both players, Ian unwisely decided to open the position, which backfired badly. … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Mansson – Cannon
Last night I won again in the club championship, this time against John Cannon. John has had a rough time recently, with a nasty fall injuring his hand, and so was not in the best of shape for the game.

Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Harbott – Mansson
On Tuesdays, I was up against Peter Harbott in the rook. Although I was playing Black, I soon achieved a comfortable position. My opponent then made a tactical oversight that he was fortunate did not lose material, but did lead … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Kington – Mansson Finished
I completed my adjourned club championship game against Paul Kington last night. The game ended as a draw, after my opponent played a defence I had (inexcusably) failed to look at in my adjournment analysis, and I failed to find … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Mansson – Warren
Last night I won my rook game against Nick Warren. I obtained an advantage out of the opening, but failed to push it home, allowing my opponent to reach a level endgame. However, he then allowed me to build up … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Kington – Mansson Adjourned
Last night my club championship game against Paul Kington was not finished. We adjourned the game after 42 moves in a position that is in my favour, although whether I can win is another matter. The game is due to … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2010-11: Mansson – Harbott
The season ended on a disappointing note for me on Tuesday, as I lost my last game in the club championship from a winning position. Peter played the opening rather rashly, but I didn’t analyse the position carefully enough, and … Continue reading
