Horsham 3 registered its first point of the season with a convincing win over Brighton and Hove 3.
Chris Heath easily held Robin Jones in a Sicilian, before John Marshall, playing the Sicilian as Black (!!?) gained a piece and a first win for Horsham. This was followed by Richard's subtle sacrificial tactics on the Q side duping his opponent to succumb to a Kingside attack and defeat.
First off, thanks to Phil for the top quality pun. Secondly, I can report success for Horsham in the farthest-flung corner of Sussex...

Facing a very strong Crowborough 2nd team with an 88 point advantage our guys faced a tough challenge indeed (I hid a few tables away!).
Last night saw Horsham 6 host a MSL Division 4 match against Worthing 4 and what a hard fought match it proved. At the time of writing the position is …
1. Baldock M ?-? Crompton P
2. Whitmore G ?-? Guinness K
3. Hewitt T ?-? Pople D
4. Hewitt M ½-½ Bradley D
5. Hewitt R 0-1 Haworth K
An excellent result last night against the Args with the added amusement of live pub music in the background :)
1. Dix Roberts drew with P Farr
2. Phil Stimpson drew with J Graham
3. Paul Taylor drawn with P Kington
4. Peter Harbott beat D Collard
5. I Comley beat I M Garson
So the score stands as 3-1 with Paul choosing to claim either a win or a draw in the adjudication!
Update : draw agreed
Horsham 1 defeated Hastings 2 by a comfortable scoreline on Tuesday night, in a match where Black dominated White, scoring 4/5 unbeaten across the two teams...

On a very wet Wednesday evening the Horsham 4th headed over to Hove to face Woodpushers 1st, our team Bob Lanzer, Melusi, Julie, Roger Waddingham and myself were out graded on nearly every board but I was still hopeful for a good result.
