4NCL On-Line League Semi-Finals Results of the 3 Yorkshire teams in the semi-finals, played on Tuesday 23/06/2020, were as follows. First-named team in a match had White on board 1, with colours alternating down the boards.
The line-up of teams in Division 1 was a little disappointing in that Anglian Avengers 1 defaulted. The reason is not evident, but doubtless there is a reason. The Suffolk Chess website (http://www.suffolkchess.org.uk/) covered the team’s quarter-final result, but has yet to comment on the “no show” in the semi-finals. (Let’s hope it is not another “cheating” ruling. Postscript: that in fact turned out to be the case, see here.)
The link to the on-line live view of the board 12 game was initially wrong, pointing to an earlier-concluded game, but this was remedied within the first 5 minutes. All four games started with fighting openings on both sides of the board, and so provided good spectator material.
In the end, Chessable White Rose 1 got through to the Division 1 final with a 3-1 win. Chessable White Rose 2 lost 1-3 in Division 2. Chessmates drew 2-2 on game points, still drawing on board count, but winning on board elimination, so getting through to the final of Division 4 by an angstrom of tooth-skin.
