Match report Insurance

Cyril Dennis had turned up, although I had left a message that he didn’t need to, so I “rested” myself and put him on board 15. United Banks only had the top three boards graded over 150, so we fancied our chances of winning the match. The match started with United Banks boards 2 and 6 not present. Neither of these two players had arrived after half an hour (or indeed later), so we had wins by default for Roger de Coverly and Ian Hunnable respectively. This was particularly unfortunate for Roger de Coverly, as he was making a rare appearance for us, his Club night not being a Tuesday. It was a pity that he had travelled from Marlow and didn’t get a game. Martin Page was the first to win over the board, after an hour. Stephen Humphrey then drew, followed some time later by David Malcolm, after what had looked to be a dour struggle. Ian Calvert then converted an extra pawn into a won king and pawns endgame, and Michael Wiltshire found a mate with knight and bishop. William Diffey, James Aldred and Ray Hamilton then won in quick succession, giving us the match, and Julian Farrand drew, but John Philpott lost. David Sedwick then managed to draw a game he had looked for a long time to be in danger of losing, Tony Paish drew after a time-scramble (a good result for David Tidmarsh), Paul Barclay won (Mike Jones putting a piece en prise in a drawn position), but Cyril Dennis lost. So a comfortable win for ICC by 11½-4½. -- Geoff Naldrett https://bronowskitrophy.wordpress.com/records/competitions/2003-2004/
