Highcliffe came back from behind in an enjoyable match

Board 2 was first to finish, I had strong attack but burned up too much time, Larissa fought back well in a very aggressive game, I ended up playing on increments and Larissa won on time in a stronger position. Matt pulled one back for Highcliffe to level with a clever kingside attack. Robert played a great combination of rooks and knight with both players low on time to win a piece and ease Highcliffe 2-1 up. The final game between Susan and Chris was last to finish with tricky Rook, Knight and Pawns endgame with both players low on time. Chris deployed his Knight expertly but Sue defended well and played more accurately in the end to seal the win for Highcliffe. A very enjoyable evening of Chess. Thanks to Southbourne for hosting, and great to see so many juniors on a Friday evening.

An enjoyable match

Well played Highcliffe C. Deserved winners in the end although thought the Southbourne players put up a good fight. Good luck in your remaining games.
