TAFCA WINTER LEAGUE ONLINE 2020-21
Mon 8th March 21 – Division Two
Castlehill G 2½, Kirkcaldy B 1½
Congratulations to Castlehill G on not only winning against a very decent side (Kirkcaldy B), but getting their very first points in this campaign on their 7th attempt!
It was a tight affair as Innes Ford (Board 2); Norman Waugh (Board 3) and captain, Daniel Coleman (Board 4) all deserve credit for drawing their matches in what turned out to be topsy-turvy games which could have gone either way! Indeed Innes Ford for some reason (maybe over thinking it?) did not take back when his Knight was taken and should have paid the price was it not for his opponent giving it back for nothing near the end of the game! Maybe it`s better to be a lucky player than a great player!
Thankfully they all held their nerve (draws) and it was all down to the board one match with new member Cosmo Bobak (1200)est playing against the very experienced Paul Anderson (1325).
It was a tight game which probably was looking to go the same way as the other three games (a draw!), until Paul decided not to swap Queen’s when the opportunity arose. This was a mistake and gave Cosmo the advantage, one he took with both hands and converted the advantage to a win! Great play Cosmo!
With that win Castlehill G finally got on the score board! They are still bottom with two games to go but can still lift themselves up the table if they beat Dundee E and/or Dundee D!
