Latest News: David Schepisi wins the Club Championship
Schepisi won his game with a two move knock out combination. He played …e5 which forced white’s minor piece on to e3 where …d4 forked two minor pieces. This of itself was enough to win but Schepisi was able to repeat the process of winning a minor piece to make his victory assured.
Barrow won quickly when Healey made a rare opening mistake omitting …Nc6 and allowing e5 which won material.
