Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Harbott – Mansson

Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Kington – Mansson Adjourned
Last night my club championship game against Paul Kington was not finished. We adjourned the game after 42 moves in a position that is in my favour, although whether I can win is another matter. The game is due to … Continue reading
