Cowley 1 get off the mark

Post date: 06-Nov-2014 20:29:07

Cowley 1 got their first point this season after a commendable draw against Witney 2. Witney2 fielded their strongest team so far this season, but it didn't stop Cowley 1 getting the draw, and it could have been more! Rod played a magnificent geam to overcome Mike Truran's Najdorf, but Will was clobbered down the "d" file by Pavel Asenov. Nick was offered a draw by Mark Hannon, but rightly turned it down to pursue his strong attack. Unfortunately Mark defended well and was able to turn defeat into victory. Paul had a quick comfortable draw against Howard Searle, and Maria beat Jake Holton. Dave could only draw despite being a pawn up in the endgame.
