BOARD 4: JOHN HOLDS ON John Clarke gets to a solid position in the early stages then has to fend off Michael’s strong comeback. Michael offers a draw which gets turned down and John holds on. 1-0 down
BOARD 1: LOPEZ – MY FAVOURITE The Ruy Lopez is one of my best openings, and I quickly got in charge against Colin. He lost a lot of time in finding the correct moves to thwart my advances and when I was running out of ideas Colin was running out of time and his flag fell. 1-1
BOARD 3: LEON TOO STRONG Our Michael lost a bishop early and was always struggling to find a way back in but Leon held on. 2-1 down
BOARD 2: COMEBACK BOB. After losing an exchange early on, Bob looked in trouble and every time I took a glance at his game I feared the worst but slowly he got back to an even keel and while we all watched on at the final minutes he gained the upper hand and Clive lost on time.
Result: a 2-2 draw We now have played 4 won 0 drawn 3 lost 1 in the Walker Shield. Well done team and well done Margate.
