AN UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS

BSCC is presently second place in the first division. This is most unexpected development for a new Chess club which is less than a year old.
The latest result was a win against Bombardier in last night`s game.  Dennis has provided the result, details and pictures.

BSCC 3.5 Shorts 1.5

BSCC make 'short' work of their opponents and have now won their first 3 matches in the second half of their campaign in Division 1 Can they maintain this form to mount a serious challenge to the runaway leaders Fisherwick?? 

Time will tell with 2 head to head matches between them to come,although it would seem that Fisherwick have such a huge points lead that it may be impossible to haul them in.

Bd1 Stephen Morgan 1 M.Newman 0

Bd2 Ray Devenney 0.5 R.Harris 0.5

Bd3 Graham McCormick 0.5 P.McNaughton 0.5

Bd4 David Ruben 1 S.McConaghy 0

Bd5 Neil Green 0.5 R.Stafford 0.5

LAGAN v BSCC

The result of tonight`s match was a surprising win for BSCC.
LAGAN 1.5   BSCC  3.5  Dennis provides the details and comments.


BSCC sink Lagan CC at Belfast Boat Club ..... Lagan 1.5 BSCC 3.5

Bd1 J.Nicholson 0.5 Ray Devenney 0.5

Bd2 G. Heathwood 0 G McCormick 1

Bd3 C.Kelly 0.5 J.Bryars 0.5

Bd4 C.Armstrong 0 D.Ruben 1

Bd5 W.Storey 0.5 B.Jaffa 0.5
Interesting stats, there were 4 Doctors,1 dentist and 1 church minister among both teams...the rule re; all mobile phones must be switched off during play was breached wen Dr. Armstrong`s phone rang,,normally that game would be forfeited,,but Dr.C.Kelly, Lagans captain, requested BSCC to waive that rule as Dr.Armstrong was on call..no problem,,,waived.

LATEST RESULT

The latest BSCC result was;
 BSCC 3   B/NAFEGH INTERNATIONAL 2

Dennis provides the details and pictures.

Board 1, Rev. Ray Devenney 0 D.Houston 1
Board 2, Graham McCormick 0.5 D.Cunningham 0.5
Board 3, John Bryars 1 I.Bujak 0
Board 4, Neil Green 0.5 I.Kilpatrick 0.5
Board 5, Bernard Jaffa 1 C.Logan 0.

A good start to the second half of the campaign in Div 1 for BSCC,altho both sides were not at full strength. BSCC led 3-1 with just Ray's game to finish,it was a Rook and pawn endgame which looked equal,unfortunately Ray ran out of time,altho David Houston reckoned he had a slight edge,who are we to argue with the highest rated player in Ulster?? lol

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.
