Peninsular Cup Semi Final

McCarthy V Lamb (Black to move)

The A team progressed to the final by a margin on 4-1 against St Helen’s.

Tom Quilter played a fine game on top board against Mark Ellis –

On boards 2, 4 and 5 Jonathan, Robert and Ilya all won smoothly, Jonathan in particular was in relentless mood giving Steve Potter very few prospects of counterplay.

The only upset came on board 3 as Damian faced a new talanted junior Phoenix Lamb. Phoenix produced a fine combination in an opposite side castled position to bring home St Helens’ only point.

We now await Atherton in the final
