Organised an extra home match tonight v Portsmouth for the Cole Cup plate as Emsworth A team captain.
Look forward to seeing Simon Venables and his team tonight for a good match.
Cole Cup is 60 minutes with 15 mins QPF and a 5 board match. Home team has black on board 1. Rule for draw result is to eliminate board from lowest number backwards.
I am Cole Cup tournament controller this year on behalf of the Portsmouth League.

These will be his 2nd and 3rd tournaments respectively. Spoke to him last night at the club and he goes to enjoy the games and not think of results - I like this 'for the love of the game' approach. I look forward to seeing one or two of his games.

On board 5 I played white, my opponent played ♞xd5?? and I missed the win taking the ♞ with my ♘ as it cannot be retaken due ♕xc7 mate on c7. Instead I played ♖ad1?? and he played ♞xf4+ ♕xf4. Position then equal
I reached this dead drawn rook ending but allowed my opponent to swop off the rook on his second attempt with check. Played the pawn ending badly losing the opposition with a pawn move that lost me stationary moves. Congrats to my young opponent for finding a way to win. But I seem to be playing weaker as I get into bus pass age territory.Quite concerning !

A good day for Fareham B hosting our A team: Fareham were outgraded on 4/6 boards but achieved a creditable match draw..
