Four Nations Chess League Rounds 1 & 2
The
first two rounds of the 2018-19 Four Nations Chess League (4NCL) took place
over the weekend of 10th & 11th November 2018.
Divisions
1 & 2
played at the De Vere Staverton Estate, Daventry Rd, Daventry, NN11
6JT.
Division
3N
played at the Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel, Manchester Rd, Blackrod, Bolton,
BL6 5RU.
Divisions
3 & 4
were due to play in Bolton a week later.
Yorkshire-based
teams participating are
in
Division 1A: White Rose 1;
in
Division 2A: Bradford DCA Knights A; and
in Division
3N: White Rose 2, Bradford DCA Knights B and C, and Jorvik
Last
year's “Castleford Roses” team seems to have dropped out.
The
White Rose players are largely past-or-present Yorkshire-resident players,
seemingly with the odd “guest’”. Jorvik players are mainly York league
players. The Bradford DCA players are drawn from across the county, so
these three teams could be thought of as “White Rose” 3, 4 and 5 as regards
make-up. Results in these teams’ matches are given below.
Bradford
were two players short and Jorvik one player short. A default known in
advance seems to incur a deduction of ½ from the match total for the
team. A “no show” from a named player seems to lose a whole point.
The
last game to finish for White Rose 1 was a R and opposite-coloured B and pawn
ending in which Richard Palliser's probing eventually, after 68 moves,
secured a win, meaning the team won both its first two matches.
First-named
team in each match had White on 1, thereafter alternating colours down the
team.
