Bugle 329 - Harrogate Evening Chess League
25 June 2020
A League match via lichess.org was played between the Archbishops and the Woodshifters. It ended in a 2-1 victory for the hosts making them League Champions.
Congratulations to the Archbishops!
Lichess.org is a strange computerized version of playing chess over the board. Some people take to it like a duck to water; others are mystified. In both cases its not as good as the real thing – I speak for myself – it certainly takes time to get used to it or adapt to it. Still, the Woodshifters were no walkovers for the hosts as Peter Rawcliffe played stonking chess on Board 2 and Adam Hall solid stuff on Board 1 to give a respectable scoreline to the match.
Other teams in the League can play their outstanding matches on lichess.org if they wish but I will not insist on it.
Games played via lichess.org will not be graded.
