Snodland 3 vs Folkestone 2: 4-2


Snodland scored a very nice 4-2 win over Folkestone in the En Passant Cup.

First to finish was Tyrone Jefferies who outplayed his opponent to win inside 90 minutes.

Rob Thompson then held an endgame a pawn down to score a good draw and put Snodland on the way to victory.

Zibby Koncki then beat an extremely strong opponent with a nice tactic despite being very short of time.

David Lettington scored a win when his opponent made an inferior bishop move and then decided to try a sacrifice to get back into the game. However, solid play was the order of the day and David's material advantage told.

David Fowler then scored a solid draw and by now the match was clearly won with Snodland leading 4-1.

The last game to finish was Chris Marshall's. Chris played well in the opening, but was facing a very strong opponent who fought back and eventually overcame Chris' defensive forces.
