Keverel Chess

Brian Gosling has e-mailed to say that the final of the Walton’s tournament, played out last night at his home between him and new Club Champion, Mark Abbott, resulted in a win for Mark. So he wins the Club’s double, league and knockout, for 2010.

I haven’t seen the score but Brian tells me he tried the Bird’s Opening and got bogged down in a passive position, unable to cope with Mark’s sharp attack. Mark really has been on fire these last few months, so his 100% record in all club games should not be a surprise.
