08/06/2026 - Glossop II 1 Altrincham II 3
Winners were Tony Lane, Vijay Kakarparthi and John Brophy, with Jane Brophy losing in what was her first match for over a year.
01/06/2026 - Altrincham I 3½ Northenden 2½
Our Summer League campaign began with a narrow win in the 'local derby' against Northenden. Guy Simpson continued his good run with a win, balanced out by a defeat for Sheraz Khalil. I (Reg) managed to fend off my opponent's dangerous Kingside attack to reach a level endgame which we agreed drawn, and shortly after John Roche, playing on board 1, did likewise. With the match level at 2-2, it was difficult to foresee the outcome - Tony Lane was a pawn up but running low on time, whilst Simon Calvert had 3 pawns for the exchange. Simon eventually trapped his opponent's King in a mating net with his Queen and Knight. By this time Tony was now 3 pawns up in an easily winning position, but seriously short of time, having to beware of various knight fork threats from his opponent. I wrote Simon's result on the match card, and sight of this was enough to persuade Tony to offer a draw, which was accepted, ensuring we won the match.
