07/10/2024 - Altrincham 5 Glossop 0

The opening match for our first team in the Stockport League ended in a 5-0 win over Glossop, in the first ever meeting between the two clubs. The Glossop club started only last year, finishing a respectable 3rd in the Limit League. This season they have also entered a team in the tougher arena of Division 2 - hopefully this defeat won't put them off too much!

Tony, Sheraz, Richard and Vijay all had comfortable wins. I (Reg) also had a big advantage, a piece up, but after allowing my opponent some unnecessary counterplay and running short of time I blundered away the extra piece. At this point my opponent made an illegal move, but the 2 minute penalty was not much consolation as my advantage had gone. But now I got lucky - 6 moves later the position below was reached, with me (Black) to move. After 40...fxg6+ my opponent completely overlooked the discovered check and quickly played 41.Rxg6, his second illegal move, and an automatic loss.
