John Morgan scored a second consecutive win to extend his league in the B-league. David Lettington managed a win with the black pieces in a tense game with Bob Fenn (shown below). David Nicholls won his first game in the A-league against Neil Miners.
In the game below, David gets an advantage after 21. Nd3, which drops a pawn after the exchanges. Bob probably should have played 21. dxc6 before putting the knight on d3. However, Bob then played very aggressively and built huge pressure down the g-file. David played too passively and allowed Bob back into the game. Both players were quite short of time as the last few moves were played and Bob's attack couldn't quite break through. Instead of 44. Qh3, Bob could have forced a draw with 44. Bxh7 Kxh7 45. Rxg7+ Rxg7 46. Qh3+ Kg8 47. Qe6+ which forces a draw by repetition. A very exciting game.
