13-09-2022 - League chess is back! Stirling allegro update

Monday, September 12th

The club hosted the first league allegro match since March 2020.

Summary from our competition chair, Dave Hewitt:

Bruce had white in r1 and r3. Allegro grades shown where people have them (Blake and McAlister only have main list grades at present). Individual scores - Bruce: Hewitt 3½, Blake 2½, Browning and MacPherson both 2 Wallace: Spiers 3½, Flanagan 2, McAlister ½, Feather 0 
A good hard-fought match to get things going again. Bruce won the first three rounds but Wallace's win in the fourth was an indication of this being a match of small margins. As ever, the clock was a big factor (eg my win vs Sean in r2 came from a good position but with only three seconds left when Sean's flag fell), and Wallace captain Harry's play merited more than his eventual score.

The results were as follows:

Round 1

Isaac Browning 1853a William Spiers 1692a 0-1
