Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2013-14: Horsham 1 – Worthing 2
Not long after taking on the Worthing first team, we were faced with their second team, this time away from home. Our first result was a rather lackluster draw between Don Banks and myself, where I equalised easily enough, but … Continue reading
Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2013-14: Horsham 1 – Worthing 1
After an absence of nearly a year, I returned to Horsham’s Mid-Sussex League team on Tuesday, when we faced Worthing 1 at home. Unfortunately, I played a very poor game (I plead tiredness!) and went down in 25 moves. Anthony … Continue reading
