Week 4 – w/c 21/10/24

In what was a relatively quiet week, only 2 matches took place but they were played on the same night at the Methodist Church – the soul of chess in Charnwood.

The 2nd team played their first home match, and Boris has written a super report about the proceedings, so I certainly won’t take any of the gloss off from the event, or the match report!

Half-term week meant that a lot of players were unavailable for the 4th team that took on a strong Wigston 5th team, with a 2.5-1.5 loss on the night. A good early win for Theo on board 4 was the only success of the night, with Mike Griffiths and El Presidente both succumbing to up and coming young players Madhav and Laurence respectively. Mick ground out a draw as the last to finish to round off the results on the night.
