Vince started the game with a Smith Morra Gambit, giving up a pawn. Vince then added more fuel to the fire with a Knight Sacrifice, and then finally went all in with a positional Queens sacrifice! This left a material imbalance of Queen + Rook and Bishop V 2 Rooks and Bishop, easily winning you would think but for a time Black was rather tangled up. In the end a relieved Damian jettisoned some material to free his position and the game ended soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"547\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-2.png 547w, https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-2-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 547px) 85vw, 547px\" \/><figcaption>Shanahan V McCarthy after move 22.Bf5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rob once again used his new pet opening as White to quickly establish an advantage against Tony which he converted to a win very efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all a tough evening at the office for The Mighty Bees, but good match experience for our newer members who can be proud of their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"987\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-3.png 987w, https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-3-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-3-768x231.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"991\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-4.png 991w, https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-4-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/culchethchessclub.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-4-768x224.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;A Team&#8217; Dominate the Local Derby by B Team Captain Nick Burriss Significantly out-graded on all 5 boards, the B Team suffered a heavy 4.5 &#8211; 0.5 defeat at the hands of their A Team clubmates.
