OTB 4NCL 2021-22, Weekend 5

25th-26th June

 

Weekend 5, played over the two days 25/06/2022 to 26/06/2022, saw the top Division “1 & 2” play its final rounds, Rounds 10 & 11, at the Mercure Daventry Court Hotel and Spa.  This was 8 weeks after the previous rounds, which was an unusually long inter-round gap.

 

From the previous rounds, Chessable White Rose 1 and 2 lay in the 8th-12th places on 10 match points, and they were not in contention to win.  What they were fighting for was to finish in the top 12, so as to get into Division 1 for the following season when Divisions 1 and 2 become separate again.

 

In round 10, Chessable White Rose 1 won on two boards and drew on the remainder.  Chessable White Rose 2, on the other hand, were very much up against it.  Tim Wall and Paul Townsend did well to draw on the top two boards, but the remaining boards were won by the opponents except for Jonathan Arnott’s, where there was a final draw.

 

In round 11, Chessable White Rose 1 clocked up a 3˝-1˝ lead with three games left, so things looked promising.  A draw from Jose Camacho Collados on board 5 ensured the match was at least drawn, then a draw from Gawain Jones on board 1 ensured a won match, leaving last-to-finish Richard Palliser able to relax and he too drew.  Meanwhile, Chessable White Rose 2 did less well, and were 3-4 down with 1 game to finish.  Fortunately, Samuel Chow was able to chalk up a win in that last game to finish, so drawing the match.
