A closely fought match.

A closely fought match. On Board 1 after my inept handling of the opening I fought back into a lively middle game but both Bill and I were feeling the stress of competitive chess after the long lockdown and were happy to share the point. On 2 a level game was decided when Rob gave a back rank check forcing Chris`s king onto a square which was vulnerable to a deadly pin. On 3 newcomer Jonny faced veteran Steve. Smart tactics based on Bh7+ gained Jonny the advantage but Steve fought back to equality in the rook endgame only to go astray after the rooks were off. On 4 Alek produced a pretty queen for rook sac allowing a pawn promotion and was therefore a rook up.
