Uckfield vs Crowborough MSCL Rapidplay
Crowborough Juniors travelled to Uckfield and came away with an excellent hard fought draw against a very strong Uckfield Youth team.
Thomas was the first to finish after he played a very dubious pawn move in front of his king his opponent had a rush of blood to the head and went for the throat but unfortunately for him Thomas's counterattack was stronger.
Giovanni had a very tough game that was equal out of the opening but slowly got worse. Evie on board 4 had good chances in the middle game but entered a rook ending a couple of pawns down. Giovanni watching was hoping for a draw based on some clever skewers and stalemates. However it was not to be.
This left us 2-1 down with Elena's game to watch and she did not disappoint despite a crowd of spectators from both teams. With seconds left on his clock and no way to prevent an imminent checkmate her opponent gracefully resigned and so the match ended all square at 2-2.
Well done to all the players from both sides and thank you to Uckfield for the kind hospitality.
