Horsham 3 gain a convincing win over Lewes 2
Mick Harris reports:
Horsham 3 gained a convincing win over the visiting Lewes 2 last night.
John Cannon accepted a Kings Gambit and never looked in trouble, whilst Mick Harris found a Kingside onslaught from an Open Sicilian to be decisive.
Next, Richard Moorhouse wrapped up a neat win of a piece and the game, and John Marshall secured the match with excellent endgame play. Last to finish was Nick Warren who was down to a Bishop and Pawns endgame – but his opponent’s passed pawn proved too much.
We have had a fine start in the League with three straight wins,but are still to face some huge fixtures ! Well done and thank you to all involved.
