Alexander Cup semi-final played at the Willoughby Arms, Kingston on 25 January 2024
This was the board 10 game in the semi-final of the Alexander Cup played at Kingston on 25 January 2024. At one point we were chalking this up as a sure-fire win for Kingston’s Jon Eckert, but then it all got seriously out of control and the Coulsdon player launched a sudden and overwhelming attack. Kingston hearts were broken and we feared the worst in the match, but the team struck back and eventually came out winners by 6-4. Phew!
