Birstall Cup Semi-Final


An early bath for Drew. Almost an earlier bath for me, when my opponent missed a winning move on move 6. I was lucky to get back an equal position. Ray and John both played their socks off - Ray not quite converting the point. John playing a wonderful Bishop, Knight and pawns ending against Peter Gibbs, giving him one of his best ever wins.

The half point bonus led to us winning the match and a place in the Birstall Cup Final.
