More details : 08/11/2011 WDCL Div 3. Wolverhampton travelled to play 2nd place and undefeated Brewood A. Brewood A had beaten an undefeated Stourbridge B the previous week. A match win would elevate us to joint second in WDCL Div 3.

Jonathan Hunt on board 3 gained a 4 pawn equivalent advantage early on, Rook, minor piece and 2 pawns and John Fenby had both of John's Knights. A series of checks on what appeared to be an uncastled King soon resulted in a full point for John on board 3, P Hubbard on board 5 had drew before this. Paul Walters opened well won a pawn, and had a positional advantage. White qualised material. Another pawn fell with good counterplay and an attack. A barrage of white pawns required careful defence and the game looked as though it would go to Brewood. Ilan Dwek drew and so Brewood needed to win on board 4 to draw the match. On board 4 the tricky position was just defendable but a late Kingside pawn push in the dwindling minutes gave whiet problems. Black had an unhindered f pawn that would queen in 2 moves, so did white but in the heat of battle and needing a draw to win, the draw was offered and accepted. Exciting match, well done team and to Brewood on playing some great chess. Ilan increased his WDCL points taller to 3 as is an early contender in the race for the W N Boydon Trophy.
