Apologies – first post for a while. We continue to run 2 teams: Herts league Division 2, generally based on strongest available players; Herts and District league to give other players graded below 1900 some matches.
Our first Herts League match early October was a walkover against Bishops Stortford 2. Here is the result of the next match:
Herts League – Division 2 Tuesday 05-November-2024
Borehamwood Welwyn Hatfield 1
Board 1 : Simmons, Matthew 2105 1-0 Roderick, Andrew 1833
Board 2 : Rubeck, Jonathan 1913 1-0 Faulkner, David J 1810
Board 3 : Kent, Anthony R 1797 0-1 White, David 1809
Board 4 : Choudhury, Shakeel 1720 1-0 Cornish, Nicholas 1713
Board 5 : Sear, Kevin 1648 0-1 Mancini, Edoardo 1700
Average grade [ 1836.6] [1773.0]
Match Score : 3 – 2
We won the match OK, but no report, as my game on board 3 was last to finish and quite intense. As Black to play short of time, I went h3?? which loses. hxg would have drawn as black king can take g pawn and get over to the queen-side in time. C’est la vie.
New members welcome. Only meet in match nights to contain costs.
