21-10-24 Lindsay Cup

Two of our promising juniors, Victor and Rudra, played out the following game on Monday night - a fine open game in which a mistake by Victor saw him lose the exchange, but he battled on and, with Rudra's King wide open and being chased around the board, the pair settled on a draw. The club is really proud of both players, and special mention must be made of the fact that I could read and follow the scoresheets!
