Although we outgraded this Woody team on every board, it was hard work.
BOARD 2. David was first to wear down Brian Rodwell to set us into a lead. Although I was sitting next to them, my game was taking all my attention: 1 -0 to us.
BOARD 1. Following a shaky start with a French Defence, Andy gradually got back to an even position. After swapping off pieces, he was able to get a passed pawn. With more pieces coming off, the pawn was out of Mark’s reach and he resigned: 2-0 to us.
BOARD 4. Bob’s game against Sue Green looked likely for a long time to be the first to finish as she had lost her queen for a bishop. But a tenacious Sue kept Bob at bay, ducking and diving in the hope Bob would mess up. Eventually her luck ran out and Bob secured our third win: 3-0 to us
BOARD 3 . Young Rens Bossers, at an estimated grade of 60, could prove to be a vital asset to the Woody team as his concentration on the game and his time taken on every move took all my attention in our three-hour game. Finally I was able to win a bishop and wear him down.
So, a hard fought 4-0 win to us. That is now played three won three in our quest for the Walker Cup.
