Warrington League.
A close hard faught match and well played to both teams.
Man of the Match. Paul keogh (Northwich)
Paul was the only player to win his game against a very worthy Eccles player Francis Moan. (Pictured taking part at the end of the Eccles Classic FIFE/ECF Chess Event 2025) https://barbarabennettphotography.pixieset.com/ecclestwogameclassicchessevent/
This is what Francis said about their game:
I went for an attack but in doing so I overextended with my king safety compromised as my kingside pawns advanced. I thought I had a winning attack but my opponent played a mysterious move I didn’t understand . I ignored it but he had spotted a tactic winning him a pawn and exchange. My position fell apart but I tried to rescue it takin the game into what was an ultimately a lost endgame. My opponent did not let me have any chances to swindle a draw or a cheap checkmate.
Thank you Francis for your comments and we look forward to you playing again next week.
