Oh dear. Turn up at Welwyn after (yet again) getting confused by local roundabouts, a modern version Dante’s seven circles of Hell. Match going well. 2-2 after a good win by Terry. Your truly on board 1 made a pigs ear of some defensive origami, and was lucky to emerge three pawns for a piece broadly, if not deservedly, equal. Trying too hard because I outgrade opponent, and make a blooper in time scramble. As Kellee Patterson famously sang “If it don’t fit, don’t force it”. My new chess motto.
