Sabrina looking very businesslike against Chris Rice.

Like Marcus Osborne she's a pawn down playing Black but seems to have more going for her.

Chris has (eventually) settled on the only move which keeps him in the game, 10.Bf4.

Yes, and Sabrina seems to have a big advantage on the clock!?

A bit passive from Chris and I prefer Nd4 to Ng3

Toast that is mate.

Osborne also in some trouble on bd. 6 with Black against Hebden.

Checking with an engine, Ng3 is the decisive blunder because of the mate.

I think Mark is winning after ...Nf3. Just take it and Ba3 is awkward

Bd. 6 Hebden-Osborne went -

And what did Black got, other than a bad game?

Yes, White now winning after 26 moves.

27.Ba3 is +8.25

Although it did involve W sacrificing his Q.

Getting R, B, N and a pawn with a solid position and no prospect of counterplay is hardly a sacrifice. Time to give up.

John McKenna · Post by **John McKenna** » Fri Jul 31, 2015 5:46 pm

Momentum carries Marcus on, however, I agree time he gave up.

I'm off for a break.
