Training, blitz 212, and … chocolate chessboard!

Thank you to those members who turned up last night to enjoy another great chess evening at the club, which included training, blitz 212, and an edible chocolate chessboard cake with pieces. A big thank you to Nick Allen for providing the homemade cake and, of course, our compliments to the chef!

David and Trefor tutored some members with the aid of a demonstration chessboard (inedible!) in the White Room, whilst Tyrone organised a rated blitz 212 tournament upstairs in the Artisan Room. Thanks to David and Trefor for organising the coaching evening.

Report—Bromley Rapidplay

Two Swale players took part in last weekend's inaugural FIDE Bromley Rapidplay tournament, and both did well. Stephen came second in the lower section with three wins and two draws, and Keith N picked up 3½ out of 5 in the higher section.

Mini-puzzle—Chess endgame study

—Contributed by Keith N

An endgame study from last night's Arnaud–Keith N game. After a difficult struggle, the game reached an even ending with rook and opposite-coloured bishop. Black is a pawn up but it is doubled and White has a passed pawn. Both players were down to the last few seconds, and hence Black missed a big advantage. White has just played 60. Rb8–Rb5 and Black now played 60. …Rc7. But what did both players miss? What should Black have played?

Black to move.
