A good nights chess, played in a friendly atmosphere, where Bournemouth just edged a close contest, which was much tighter than the final result. Board 1 being the key game, in which both players had winning chances. Antal's all out kingside attack running into Dennis - only move - offer of a "pseudo Queen sacrifice" which exploited White's back rank issues and defenceless King. Acceptance of this leading to checkmate, or bolstering it's defences to exchanges, resulting in a winning endgame for Black, due to his extra pawns. Another nail-biter between these players!

Good match - Well played Bournemouth

Well played the Bournemouth team - Dennis did seem very happy afterwards to find the Q sacrifice which ended Tony's attack! Board 2 always looked good for Bournemouth with the other 2 boards much more even with draws on each a fair outcome.
