Horsham Club Quickplay Knockout 2016-17: Mansson – Higgs
Last Tuesday I won the final of the Quickplay Knockout against Anthony Higgs. The first game was a draw after we reached an interesting but balanced rook and pawn endgame. The second was a win after another endgame, albeit one … 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 Quickplay 2016-17: Blake – Mansson
The club Quickplay is a loosely organised event intended to provide extra chess for members who have completed their games in other competitions, or cannot arrange other games for a club night. There is no requirement for players to play … Continue reading

Blast from the Past: Young – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
The last game from the section I need to cover is my Black loss against J.Young. In this game I played rather feebly and lost rather easily.
Blast from the Past: Wilkinson – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
My win against G.Wilkinson as Black was a pretty mediocre game. As in the Musgrave game, White played a dubious gambit. Following a series of innaccuracies by both players, the game resolved to an endgame with an extra pawn for … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Musgrave – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
There is a small mystery regarding my win against R.Musgrave. The game ends after my opponent’s 19th move. The position is roughly level, so it is unlikely that White resigned because of the position on the board, especially as there … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Kennerley – Mansson, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
My game as Black against R.Kennerley was a short draw. My opponent allowed the Marshall Attack, but chose an innocuous line and agreed a draw while we were still in book.

Blast from the Past: Mansson – Cross, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
I remember being very disppointed with the outcome of my game against G.Cross, and looking back at it now, I think this feeling was justified. Up to my 40th move I had played well in slowly building up my kingside … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Mansson – Butterworth, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
My game against A.Butterworth was another disappointing loss. While my memory of the game was negative, having looked back at it, things are not quite so clear cut. While my choice of system against the Modern Benoni was far from … Continue reading
Blast from the Past: Mansson – Green, BPCF Open Championship Semi-Final Round
The next game I am going to look at is my other King’s Indian from the section, played against G.Green. I was White again and the game followed the same line as my game against M.Ali up to Black’s 12th … Continue reading
