“Bottom heavy” victory for C Team
Belper E played us on Tuesday. Matt (Black) lost a couple of pawns and ended up in an inferior position, due to an advancing central pawn mass. He eventually succumbed under increasing pressure and lack of space. On board 2 pieces were given away and pawns queened, eventually Andre came out on top. Shourya got a quick win. Sam won a good ending.
