Inter County Bulldogs Team (U120)
Team Captain: Peter Evans.
MCCU Under-120 Championship
Bulldogs 5½ - 6½ Worcestershire
Match played 7 January 2012 at Bushbury, Wolverhampton
My game was one of the last to finish, but anecdotes from some of the other players indicated tight games that might have gone the other way if... With just board 10 still playing, the score was all square 5½ - 5½.
That last game went right down to a three pawns v two face off.
Opposing pawns locked together on the queens knight file, a black pawn on h6, a white pawn on g4.
The kings faced each other mid board and black's past pawn standing on d5.
White played really well, but that past pawn made all the difference.
As I put this page together, I noticed that half of the Worcestershire team came from one club - Redditch.
But as Peter Evans mentioned to me recently, captains tend to ask players at their own club first simply because they see them so often etc.
One point made the difference but well done to all the players.
