This year’s championship was decided on June 27th, when Derek Blair and Steve Larkin played the final at Derek’s house. Derek had white and the opening play was very positional. For a considerable time there was nothing in it, until Derek launched a sacrificial attack which failed to pay off, leaving him a bishop down. A series of forced exchanges consolidated Steve’s lead and in the endgame Derek, up against a knight and three pawns to his own two pawns, resigned when it was clear that he could not prevent Steve queening a pawn. It had been a long, hard game – some 60 moves in about two hours and fifty minutes – decided largely by one miscalculation.

As of 20 May 2017, all quarter-final and semi-final games have taken place, with the following results. In the quarter-finals, Malcolm Reid beat Bruce Reed, Steve Larkin beat Dave Humphreys, Tim Wrigley beat Dave Foster by default, and Derek Blair beat Peter Booker. In the semi-finals, Steve beat Malcolm and Derek beat Tim. So the final is an all-Riding Mill affair between Derek and Steve.

This is a position from a Club Championship match played last night, Tue 9 Feb. Sadly, both of us missed the correct continuation.
Alex (black) played Rxa2 + , this is wrong, but how should Tim (white) respond ?
