A very important game for Poole B against a team also battling relegation. We came prepared to win the match, especially after the recent frustrating loss against Southbourne B.

The first to finish his game was John, with a great win against our friend Jurgen, consolidating a great start of the season for himself and for the team with 2.5 points out of his first three games. A great addition to the club, John won his game taking advantage in the end game of the fact that he was a piece up.

Second to finish was Toby, his opponent put pressure during the whole match and managed to break Toby’s defence and level the score at 1 each.

Sergio played solid as always with white, not for a second showing any weakness, giving no chance to his opponent to make any offensive moves. A very impressive attack on the king side, Sergiu won and the score became 2-1 for us.

Ciprian played a bit defensively as always with black, putting himself in a tricky position with not much happening in his game. A sacrifice of a Rook for a Knight and a pawn, changed the position dramatically , with Ciprian taking the initiative and with less than three minutes left on both clocks a draw was decided. A good result for Ciprian and a great result for the team, who won the match 2.5-1.5

With a win, a draw and a loss in the first three games, Poole B are comfortable in the middle of the table.  We are looking forward to our next game against Wimborne A.

Thanks very much to all the players.
