Mid-Sussex League Knockout 2010-12: Horsham 2 – Lewes
This year I was selected to play for Horsham 2 for the MSL knockout competition. This competition operates on a handicapping system, where the average grading of both teams is calculated, and the difference in these is used to work … Continue reading
Mid-Sussex League Division 1: 2011-12: Horsham 1 – Hastings 2
Horsham 1’s successful start to the Mid-Sussex League season continued with a win against Hastings 2 last night. Overall the team racked up three wins and one draw, with one game unfinished. Dix Roberts, Peter Harbott and I registered wins, … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Mansson – Cannon
Last night I won again in the club championship, this time against John Cannon. John has had a rough time recently, with a nasty fall injuring his hand, and so was not in the best of shape for the game.

4NCL Division 3 2011-12: e2e4.org.uk 2 – Guildford 3
Unlike the match on the previous day, our match against Guildford 3 was a much tighter affair, which we just managed to win 3.5-2.5. An amusing aspect of the line up, for me anyway, was that our opponents, Guildford 3, … Continue reading

Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2011-12: Crowborough 1 – Horsham 1
Horsham notched up a comfortable win against an under-strength Crowborough team last Friday. Gavin Lock secured a solid draw on board one against Peter Kemp, while Phil Stimpson, Peter Harbott and I all notched up wins. Dix Roberts was the … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Harbott – Mansson
On Tuesdays, I was up against Peter Harbott in the rook. Although I was playing Black, I soon achieved a comfortable position. My opponent then made a tactical oversight that he was fortunate did not lose material, but did lead … Continue reading
Horsham Club Knockout 2011-12: Higgs – Mansson
I managed to negotiate the second round of the club knockout on Tuesday night, following a wild game against Anthony Higgs. He decided to punt the rare 4 h4 against my Gruenfeld Defence. However, he failed to find a convincing … Continue reading
Horsham Club Championship 2011-12: Kington – Mansson Finished
I completed my adjourned club championship game against Paul Kington last night. The game ended as a draw, after my opponent played a defence I had (inexcusably) failed to look at in my adjournment analysis, and I failed to find … Continue reading
Mid-Sussex League Division 1 2011-12: Horsham 1 – Horsham 2
Last night saw the Horsham first team’s opening fixture in this Mid-Sussex League season. Because the club has two teams in division one, they have to play each other first, so this match was between Horsham 1 and Horsham 2. … Continue reading
