Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2012-13: Horsham 1 – Eastbourne 1
Horsham 1 achieved a narrow 3-2 victory over Eastbourne 1 in their match last night. Gavin Lock, Dix Roberts and Paul Taylor all won, but Phil Stimpson lost a safe-looking endgame, while I managed to blunder my queen against Oliver … Continue reading
County Match (Open) 2012-13: Sussex – Kent
Last Saturday saw Sussex matched against Kent in the County Open competition. Despite being outgraded by 11 points per board, Sussex put up a good fight. They took an early lead by racking up a series of wins on the … Continue reading

Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Higgs – Mansson
My Rook game on Tuesday against Anthony Higgs sparked into life after a dull opening led into an equally dull endgame. A risky move by me, followed by a dubious one a few moves later, gave him the chance to … Continue reading
Horsham Club Knockout 2012-13: Mansson – Denning
I won my semi-final match in the Knockout Plate against Julie Denning last night. Julie’s choice of defensive formation against the Sämisch was not the best; having chosen the quite reasonable 6…Nbd7, she should have followed up with 7…c5, which … Continue reading
Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2012-13: Horsham 1 – Hastings 2
It looks like we will win our match from last night against Hatsings 2 (see the report here). My game against Alfredo Luaces was the first to finish, as I won in only 20 moves as Black. My opponent was … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2012-13: Marshall – Mansson
Last night I played my Rook game against John Marshall. In a typical Najdorf position, John ran out of ways to improve his position, while I was able to build up mine. After swinging my queen across to the kingside, … Continue reading
