Holme Valley v Chartist 10/1/2006
Barry Brian played a Scandinavian [Centre Counter] against Holme Valley new boy Graham Hughes, always held the advantage and won a pawn.
He failed to convert his advantage, however, in a tricky Knight ending, and the game was drawn.
In a memorable game versus Stewart Thompson, Matthew Parsons played the Englund gambit, and finished THREE PAWNS down against Stewart Thompson. However, as Mike Dennison remarked, "Stewart's technique doesn't seem quite up to the job !". It wasn't. He self destructed in time trouble and lost.
