David English was the first to finish with what appeared to be a quick checkmate against his king earlier on in the game. Well done to Trevor on his win against his opponent. Alastair’s black King had to fight against a well placed white Knight in his side of the board in around the middle game and appeared to eventually succumb to a mating attack by his opponent. Simon appeared to have an even middle game but lost in the end. David Websdale and Subas drew our respective games. Subas’s game was against a very young opponent. But she was quite good. The opening was Queen’s Gambit Declined: Semi-Tarrasch Defense. Subas’s opponent playing white had the initiative. So Subas had to make as many exchanges as possible to blunt her attack and the game ended in a draw with two rooks for each player and equal number of pawns, a fair result.
