Terry had lost his usual top spot and he did well to hold off Venkatesh’s R& pawns in an endgame. Staniland had a grip on my position that I couldn’t quite break and though I went into the ending with level material my endgame play was poor. In compensation Tony Kent’s Bird’s opening helped him to create weak doubled-pawns on Horan’s K-sde position and against Tony’s K, passed a-pawn & strong B, they proved to be too strong for George hold off. Rahul always seemed to be probing Bancroft’s position and likewise Adhar’s B had an edge over Ian’s weaker N, but with the pawns locked a draw was agreed. Ashley created a strong passed e-pawn and though Neville fought hard to hold it back it proved to be too sharp thorn in his side to win Wanstead the match.

Yesterday as part of the Essex league, Ilford Chess Club had a close match with Wanstead 2 at Wanstead house.
