March mayhem
The first Monday in March saw two Guildford teams in action in the Surrey Border League. In Division 2, Guildford B faced Farnham B in an evenly-rated match which ended in a draw (2.5–2.5). The last game to finish was on board 1 where Rolandas Lukosius beat Clive Frostick in an exciting rook and pawn ending. In Division 4, Guildford D played Crowthorne B, losing 3.5–1.5.
Upstairs, Peter Hegarty led a session for the Beginners' Group. Next door to that, the internal rated rapidplay has now completed 65 rounds in 21 sessions featuring 59 players. James Toon is currently in pole position. Adam Sefton is the only other player on 100%.

The mayhem in the post title refers to the rapidplay game between James Toon and Beau Darrer (see diagram below with Black to move). Clearly the position is about to explode. See the Games page for the exciting tactical continuation.
