Arrived a bit late due to distance and problems parking. Stortford gunning for promotion, and we had our board 1 missing. But somehow we prevailed, though outgraded on all boards
As it turned out, Nimzovitch defense on Board 1 became a sort of locked Kings Indian Defence – draw agreed with no pieces exchanged. Board 2, Black won a Kings Indian Defence as white grabbed a dodgy pawn on d6. On Board 3, white overextended against a Kings Indian Defence. Board 5 was a drawn Kings Indian Attack v Sicilian. Board 4 was a Queens Gambit declined – no Indians in sight
