Yesterday as part of the Essex league, Ilford Chess Club had a close match with Wanstead 2 at Wanstead house.
Terry had lost his usual top spot and he did well to hold off Venkatesh’s R& pawns in an endgame. Staniland had a grip on my position that I couldn’t quite break and though I went into the ending with level material my endgame play was poor. In compensation Tony Kent’s Bird’s opening helped him to create weak doubled-pawns on Horan’s K-sde position and against Tony’s K, passed a-pawn & strong B, they proved to be too strong for George hold off. Rahul always seemed to be probing Bancroft’s position and likewise Adhar’s B had an edge over Ian’s weaker N, but with the pawns locked a draw was agreed. Ashley created a strong passed e-pawn and though Neville fought hard to hold it back it proved to be too sharp thorn in his side to win Wanstead the match.
