Gambit-2 Beat Grantham-2 3:2

Grantham-2 played yesterday match out with an old rival - Gambit-2. Friendly environment, friendly and nice opponents, however, the match was tough as usually. Grantham players were over-graded on all boards but top one.

The only victory for Grantham team scored Chris Holt who overplayed his opponent in English Opening. Have a look at this game with annotations of Chris Holt himself.


Chris Cumber grabbed the half a point from HR Edwards who is rated almost 45 E.C.F points higher than Chris. I think that Chris deserves special recognition for his performance.

Drag Sudar gave me last time in Grantham hard time and you had already the pleasure to see a fragment of that game in my previous post.
This time the game was not that interesting, I missed certain chance, however, draw was a fair result.
