Brief Update

Just a brief update this time of the latest results in the Dyfed Online League. Aberystywyth won the match against Aberystwyth University on Tuesday 1st December by 3½-½. Surprisingly, the half point was conceded by Rudy van Kemenade on top board. In a King's Indian Attack French, Rudy created and attacked a weakness on Black's kingside but his own queenside-castled king was also vulnerable, and Dan was able to force a draw by perpetual check. The other game given here is Sam Holman's in a Sicilian against Kieran Judge; Sam's persistent pressure down the c-file led to a convincing win. James Cook won against Kieran Rafferty and the other game was a default.
