Andrei wins debut match in quick time

Cannock League Division 3

Joint winner of the Club Championship a couple of weeks ago, Andrei Pinzaru , took just 23 minutues to win his debut league match. Peter Rose then continued a fine season with another win and Lichfield’s 3B team was able to clinch a 3-1 win over Oscott.

Connor Whetnall’s game appeared to be lost but somehow he managed to take the game into a King and Rook ending in which connected pawns on both sides of the board were threatening to Queen. Accurate play then led to a draw. Gary Monks got the other draw on board one. (Match played 5th March)
