On a sunny day Brighton & Hove travelled to the St Francis & Haywards Heath venue. The outcome was to match the weather from a Brighton & Hove point of view.
Brian Denman was White in a Tarrasch French. i saw him win a pawn and then the Queen of his opponent Robert Fitzgerald. One nil to Brighton & Hove.
Luke Rutherford was Black in a Scheveningen Sicilian. His game looked quite wild. His opponent however sacrificed a Piece unsoundly and Luke was able to capitalise on this. Two nil to Brighton & Hove.
Chris Lowe was White playing against a Centre Counter defence. Despite an apparently equal middlegame he was eventually able to outplay his opponent and clinch the match for Brighton & Hove. We were Three-Nil up and had already an unassailable Board Count position.
Geoffrey James was Black in a Two Knights Defence game. After a long struggle he went on to win an exchange and convert his advantage. Four nil to Brighton & Hove.
John Henshaw was White in a Slav Opening. This was the last game to finish decisively as John was to convert his advantage and take the win. Five nil to Brighton & Hove.
My game was a Sicilian 2.Na3. An unusual opening that led eventually to a draw.
The final score had been 5.5-0.5 in favour of Brighton & Hove. This is the Fifth consecutive year a Brighton & Hove side has won the competition.
