For the fourth time in 5
years, a play-off was required to determine the winner of the
Stakis Cup. Barnaby Leach and Ian McDonald (last years NE Novice
Champion) drew their R4 match, and both players went on to
secure wins in R5.
An
exciting 5-minute play-off ensued, with Ian going a pawn up
after 10 moves. Barnaby played aggressively to regain the pawn,
and soon afterwards craftily won the exchange. Barnaby’s Queen,
Rook, and Bishop attack was being well defended by Ian, but a
decoy sacrifice was overlooked in time trouble by Ian, giving a
back-rank mate and victory to Barnaby.
