Horsham 3 registered its first point of the season with a convincing win over Brighton and Hove 3.
Chris Heath easily held Robin Jones in a Sicilian, before John Marshall, playing the Sicilian as Black (!!?) gained a piece and a first win for Horsham. This was followed by Richard's subtle sacrificial tactics on the Q side duping his opponent to succumb to a Kingside attack and defeat.
Mick and Nick went the full distance -- and for review. Mick and Dona have since agreed a draw. Nick has a +3.96 computer advantage at adjudication stage and we await Brighton's decision to challenge our claim for a win.
Well done Team, especially after a very tough start in 2013 !
