A good win for Ilford- in a stifling hot room- which now gives us 4/4 unbeaten. Chingford’s team wasn’t as strong as in their previous match but then we were missing Tom Barton who was generously running Ilford CC and looking after the juniors.

It’s rare that I’m the only winner of both games and quite easily. I didn’t get a chance to view the other games but we soon won round 1. But round 2 was much closer and we watched the endgames as Neville got out into an awkward position, Venkatesh got swamped by Brian’s 3-passed pawns and in a time scramble Rahul had to work hard to win a N & 5-pawns endgame against N & 4pawns.
