Henry’s opponent blundered a piece on g3 as his pawn on f2 was pinned by a Bishop.Bernard was sharp and countered all threats. Francis did well against the theoretically prepared Gavin in a Trompowsky 4….c5 var. John’s game was the pick with a known exchange sac from Fisher in a sharp Lopez var. Howard ground Higgs down but has not yet resignedr . Great start by the team for this season.
