Atticus 2 win close battle 30/3/22

Atticus 2 continued their fine season with a close 4-3 victory over Aigburth.  The Aigburth team provided a very formidable line-up and were probably a bit unfortunate not to get a draw.

First to finish was Luke Boumphrey with a early victory over Dave Eisen,Dave was not at his best on the night but had beaten Luke convincingly earlier on in the season.

Dave Stuttard went all in against Dave Pearceys Owens Defence, in a massive attack Dave S had to give up crucial material. Dave Pearcey defended precisely at the important moments and was able to turn the tables to his advantage.

Sanjoy came up against the very experienced Ian Campbell. The match looked very equal going into the midde game but as Sanjoy overpressed Ian took the lead.

Steve Kee may have had a slight edge over Roger when a draw was agreed. Roger opting for Steve's old opening of the Stonewall Dutch.

David Lawson and Danny Rowlandson had an equal game but David Lawson's superior end game play proved decisive.

Andrej had another long match with Steve Lee, Andrej continued his fine run of form securing victory in the closing minutes.

Brian Ewart had a superior position but blundered with under 5 mins left, somehow Brian managed to find a great tactic to pose severe problems for Anthony Pimblett. With only a couple of minutes left Anthony decided he had to go for the drawn repetition.
