Close game for chessmen
CLITHEROE "A" faced Hawks "B" in a home match in the North-East Lancashire Chess
League. Hawks have still not won in the league and should have
been easily beaten by Clitheroe. On board 1, Mr John Smith played his usual strong
game and put his opponent under relentless pressure, and quickly forced a win. On hoard 3, Brian Carr held steady, but was not able to press home and this game ended as a
draw.Mr Tim Cook developed an interesting position on board 5 and was able to force checkmate. This left Mr Brendan Brown on board 4 and Mr Eric Mansfield on board 2 still playing, and Clitheroe in need of half a point
for outright victory. Mr Brown was able to gain a draw by the relatively rare
means of repeating the position three times and this
secured the points for Clitheroe. The result should have finished up looking very com fortable for Clitheroe, hut unfortunately a mistake which cost a queen for nothing decided the board 2 game in favour of Hawks, and the result looked quite close at Clitheroe "A" 3 Hawks "B" 2.
