TONIGHT`S FISHERWICK RESULT

I am posting the Fisherwick result as it has a bearing on the league divison.

Fisherwick 3.5  Magherfelt 1.5

VIDEO OF LAST WEEK`S MATCH

This is the video of last weeks Groomsport v  SBCC game. 
The Bangor v Ballynafeigh International was also taking place at the same time.



If you watch near the end you will learn how to put a smile on the face of a female. It is very easy, just blunder a piece for nothing after which she easily wins!! Anyone can do it!

Here is the link to the Ballynafeigh Chess Club page.

VITAL VIDEO EVIDENCE!!

Here is a short video clip showing everything was above board regarding the postponement of the FW v Lagan match. 

The Lagan team showed up on time to play the match, the problem was, they may not have been able to get home again due to the heavy snowfalls!! 

The match is re-scheduled for next Tuesday at the Ballynafeigh venue by virtue of Ballynafeigh`s gracious gesture.

BSCC LATEST RESULT

The result of last night`s game with Groomsport was;


Groomsport 3 BSCC 2

Even tho they lost BSCC seem certain now to be in Div 1 come the 2 way split by gaining 2 valuable points. Groomsport led 2.5 to 1.5 with the final game to finish and David Ruben needed to win v P.McLoughlin to tie the match. Although he couldnt get the win,a draw was very welcome for David to end a long losing run.

Bd1 A.Mc Connell 0.5 G.Mc Cormick 0.5,,

Bd2 P.McLoughlin 0.5 D.Ruben 0.5,,

Bd3 W.McGratten 1 N.Green 0,,

STUDY POSITION 8

This is from a game between Neil and myself on Monday night. I am white. It is black to move. What is the best way for black to proceed?
In reality what happened is, I offered a draw as I was quickly becoming drowsy due to the side effects of medication! lol
