                           3 - 2

A good start to the season helped by a default on board 2 and a fair slice of luck.
Some good luck on board 1, we had been winning easily early in the game, but had let the win slip, then a blunder let the draw slip. At this point the Barnet player offered a draw in a simple winning king & pawn ending.
We were also lucky on board 4 when the Barnet player failed to make the time control, apparently not helped by neglecting to press his clock.
Rod's game reached the predictable rook & pawn ending and was drawn.

                           -----
                           3 - 2

Not the best start to the season, but all things considered we did well to come close. To avoid a trip to Royston, two of the first team had arranged trips out of the Country, and in the end only one of the nominated first team played.
Promoted to board 1, Phil had a good win, this gave us hope of a shock result.
My game seemed to be reasonably even until the center got blocked and I realised I had a simple winning plan. Unfortuneately at the same time my opponent saw the same plan, and was forced into a do-or-die pawn push which opened his own kings position. Just as I thought I was about to win I blundered a pawn and was lucky to escape with a draw.
On board 3 Adrian compromised his position trying to get an advantage, leaving a very difficult defense.
With the black pieces Philip never seemed to have any problems and had a solid draw.
This just leaves board 5 where under normal circumstances Adrian with white and outgrading his opponent would expect a result. But Adrian ran short of time and lost in a complex game. This is was almost totally due to the fact he took the train to Royston and had wrote the address down, but had missed two vital letters "St" off the end of Melbourn. He asked someone at Royston station if he was at the right place for Melbourn Royston, and they sent him to the next station up the line to Melbourn. So instead of being half an hour early he was 45 minutes late, after not finding the club at Melbourn.

HH1 vs St Albans 2 (H) - 17th October 2005

Steve Law reports:

1. M Dignam         (200)  1 - 0   I Gooding        (170)
2. H Tebbs          (181)  1 - 0   J Knowles        (165)
3. P Bonafont       (172)  1 - 0   N Willmott       (160)
4. S Law            (163)  1 - 0   C Trinder
5. P Gregory        (156)  1 - 0   D Bower          (158)
                           -----
                           5 - 0

A first team 5-0 whitewash, the first time for 15 seasons!
The top 4 games were closely contested, only Philip dominating the whole game.
Matthew had all the attacking chances and eventually the opponents defence lapsed leading to the king being caught in the center.
Howard won material in the middle game only to be suprised at the opponents counterplay and was slightly fortuneate that time trouble cane to the rescue.
I got my bad move in earlier than usual at move 2. Although things didn't seem as bad as I expected, it certainly helped when my opponent left his king in the middle and grabbed a hot pawn. A rook sacrifice concluded the game.
Meanwhile, on 5 Philip had totally overwelmed his opponent with a new found attacking streak and commented that "it's not chess" - seems to work though.

HH2 vs Hertford 2 (A) - 18th October 2005

Adrian Matthew reports:

1. G Davies         (158)  0 - 1   S Law            (163)
2. I Capes          (146)  ½ - ½   A Elwin          (164)
3. A Du Boulay      (145)  0 - 1   A Matthews       (149)
4. B Judkns         (143)  ½ - ½   R Gibb           (145)
5. C Luscombe       (141)  1 - 0   J Shaw           (136)
                           -----
                           2 - 3

The second division is very competitive this season, and it's difficult to pick the winners and losers at this stage, so it was nice to win a second match without too many alarms.
On 1 the Hertford player chose to avoid main line Grunfeld theory and paid the price, getting a piece trapped in a difficult position.
On board 2 Adrian, having travelled a distance, was offered a draw after only a few moves. He understandably declined the offer but made no headway, only to find after the game he had missed a winning plan just before the game was drawn.
Rod headed for his familar rook & pawn ending, same conclusion.
John playing his first match for the club probably was wishing he'd stayed at home, after a disastrous opening he had to sit and suffer while he was beaten up - things can only get better.


HH3 vs Letchworth 2 (H) - 24th October 2005

Ian Hall reports:

1. R Gibb           (145)  1 - 0   I Mutton         (137)
2. N Hoddinott      (123)  1 - 0   P Craft          (133)

5. B Saunders        (93)  ½ - ½   G Lee            (110)
                           -----
                           3 - 2

A close match all down to Rod's adjourned position. No guesses as to what type of ending he has. This time it looks good. Rod won the adjournment.


HH2 vs Watford 2 (H) - 31st October 2005

Adrian Matthew reports:

1. S Law            (163)  ½ - ½   I Khandaker      (165)
2. P Kendall        (164)  1 - 0   B Morris         (159)
3. P Gragory        (156)  ½ - ½   W Broome         (153)
4. A Matthews       (149)  ½ - ½   A Hall           (152)
5. R Gibb           (145)  1 - 0   J Taffel         (134)
                           -----
                          3½ - 1½

A third straight win!
Lucky on board 1 after a bad second move, which almost led to a quick defeat.
Philip again played aggressively but could not quite capitalise and had some luck in reaching a drawn adjourned position.
This time Rod crucially kept a minor piece to go with his rook and won.


HH4 vs St Albans 6 (A) - 31st October 2005

Rob Johnson reports:

1. J Leake           (89)  0 - 1   P Sargent        (102)
2. W Hamm            (91)  0 - 1   R Johnson         (97)

HH1 vs Watford 1 (A) - 1st November 2005

Steve Law reports:

1. V Tiruchirapalli (208)  1 - 0   M Dignam         (200)
2. A Stone          (193)  0 - 1   J Sharp          (192)
3. E Holland               1 - 0   H Tebbs          (181)
4. M Boyce          (173)  ½ - ½   P Bonafont       (172)
5. I Khandaker      (165)  0 - 1   A Gilfillan      (165)
                           -----
                          2½ - 2½

Facing a tough Watford side the captain managed to escape playing the same opponent on sucessive nights by opting out. With the presure off I could enjoy some 5 minute games over a nice pint of beer.
Matthew had a disaster, playing against a dodgy gambit he overlooked a tactic.
John playing his first game for a while, won very convincingly with black against a strong opponent.
Very unusually Howard played a poor game, and later admitted that he just couldn't find any good moves.
The Bonafont-Boyce theoretical Sicilian Najdorf dual continued, this time Phil has managed to keep the upper hand through to the adjournment. Although he missed an easier way of winning just before the end, Phil has all the chances.
Andrew played a very nice game, his opponent sacrificed a piece for a number of pawns but neglected king safety. Andrew kept up the pressure and the defence enventually colapsed.
Phil failed to win a tricky queen & pawn endgame, laeving a drawn match.

                           3 - 2

This match was a milestone for Ken, he avoided his first lose after a very tough introduction into league chess last season.


HH1 vs Hertford 1 (H) - 7th November 2005

Steve Law reports:

1. M Dignam         (200)  0 - 1   S Knott          (219)
2. H Tebbs          (181)  1 - 0   S Swanson        (192)
3. P Bonafont       (172)  0 - 1   P Byway          (189)
4. A Gilfillan      (165)  ½ - ½   P Borman         (170)
5. S Law            (163)  1 - 0   B Cheal          (169)
                           -----
                          2½ - 1½

Hertford continue to roll out the same team time and time again so their board order was no suprise.
Matthew run into some opening preperation.
Andrew's game was rather difficult to assess, he had two bishops and two rooks against two knights and two rooks. Andrew was a pawn down but had potential, he eventually won the pawn back but lost the potential. The game was adjourned with Andrew a pawn down in a rook & pawn ending but he did have a passed pawn. The opponent offered the draw.
My opponent played a rather dubious opening, and couldn't handle the piece sacrifices, hopefully he might like to try to improve this opening next time.
Howard converted his adjournment advantage by a very neat exchange sacrifice.
Phil admitted that his sealed move was not quite the best, a very complicated knight ending was made more difficult. In the end he came within 1 tempo of holding the draw.
Still a drawn match keeps us in with a chance.

                           -----
                           1 - 4

Another victory. Steve had some advantage from the opening but then played a few bad moves and was lucky to have a slight edge an the end of the session. This was not enough to force my opponent to travel.
Paul adjourned position has been sent for adjudication, claiming a win. A double rook & pawn ending with a pawn on the 7th.
Adrian reached the adjourned position with 2 possible sealed moves both won easily. Although the opposition have claimed the game on a technical infringement of the '7-day rule'.
Not a typical Rod game, he looked in serious trouble, but the complications baffled his opponent who couldn't find the correct moves.
John had a straight forward win, although a quick look revealed an even game, closer inspection revealed an extra piece.
Paul's position was adjudicated a draw.

Outgrading the opposition by such a large margin is often a recipe for disaster. This turned out to be our luckiest result so far.
Matthew always seemed to have a even position but late in the game, after a couple of draw offers he pressed too hard for the win. Although by this stage the team was clearly winning the match.
John seemed to be clearly better heading into the endgame and started rounding up pawns. The position was in fact lost and as his opponent was in the process of making the winning pawn push he lost on time.
Howards game was the most comfortable a small edge and eventual break through to the king.
Phil on the black side of another Sicilain, was forced into e5 leaving a weak d5 square. He then attempted to trap a piece on the queenside. This backfired but a similar idea a few moves later did net a piece.
My game was best forgotten, my opponent with black was completely even by move 10 and could have been justified in offering a draw. He then gave me slight hope in allowing a pawn push against his king. This got nowhere except luring my king into what should have been a fatal pin. Luckly my opponent missed it and dropped a pawn. This led to what I thought was an easy win, but even this turned out to be difficult. By the adjounment I did have a winning plan, although even this could and should have been tested.
Not title winning form, as the 4-1 win could have certainly been much worse.

The main excitement for the spectators was the game on board 5, it was almost impossible to predict the outcome. The tension mounted after all the other games had finished, both players had their chances in a very open game. The game was being played to a finish and as the time reduced Ken missed several chances to secure victory. Towards the end the opponents king slipped away to safety. The final position was unclear but the clock had the final say.
