Elliott’s quickfire win gives Lichfield 3B a draw

Cannock League Division 3

Elliott Ward would surely improve on his already considerable talent if he would just slow down a little. In his own word he” battered” his Norton Canes opponent using just eight minutes of his time against 28 minutes. It was Elliott’s fifth win of the season.

Brian Homewood drew on top board and so did Stephen Shields on board three. John Fryer was not pleased because he had a slight advantage in the end game. He then pushed too hard and lost. An offer of a draw three moves earlier would probably have been accepted, (Match played 20th February).
