A Hardman is Good to Find

Steynton B could only field three players against Aberystwyth at the Emlyn Cafe, Tanygroes on Wednesday 11 April, meaning that we needed one and a points to seal the match. On top board, Rudy van Kemenade won a pawn early on against John Miller in a King's Indian and had a dominating position throughout, picking up more material as Black looked vainly for counterplay. I got good pressure in a Sicilian against David Pinch's King's Indian Attack setup, but missed a tactic which won him a pawn. I should still have been OK, but was thrown off my stride by my mistake and blundered to bring the game to a quick conclusion. Dan Hardman, playing his first game for the Club, got a dangerous passed pawn against Gwyn Evans's Sicilian, and Black's attempt at a kingside counterattack only blundered a piece, a good start for the new player against a higher rated opponent. Aberystwyth won the match 3-1 with the default on Board 4.
