Summer Cups and County Championships


This week, we were pretty busy with the first round of the summer cups:

Chapman Cup

We took an absolute pasting from a stronger Wigston side.

Club Night

A club night is unlikely this week owing to the County Championship games at Wigston on Thursday.


Eastlake Vs Ross

Oh dear...




Afterwards, I was asked why I played 34...h5 rather than taking the knight on d2 (which appears to be en pris). Ok, I could have resigned already and h5 was rubbish, but 35 Rxc4+ Kd5 (or Kd6, or Kd7) 36 Rd4+ and then 37 Rxd2 Game Over.

Eastlake Vs Ross after 34 Rg4

























Well done everyone,

Colin
