I Give You Not One but Two Queens!
Derby A faced Clay Cross A for the first time this season on Tuesday (11/3). Our team had a different look with the non-availability of a few regulars.
I had been in control in a London but Antony played an unsound aggressive move which I reacted inaccurately. Sounds a little familiar? (see match with Belper B!). I was the first to finish so not the greatest of starts!
Then Clay Cross boards 2 and 4 both blundered their Queens in the space of minutes, putting us back in the match.
Steve was in control for most of his game and checkmated his opponent in time trouble.
We meet Clay Cross again in 2 weeks at home.
