Published 14 June 2015 Under-140 Semifinal: Hampshire - NottinghamshirePlayed 13 June 2015 at The Open University Milton Keynes, Bucks. Nottinghamshire players on odd-numbered boards had white. Reported by Neil Graham.
Exciting match sees Notts through. Report by Neil Graham. Notts have met Hampshire in the national Final of the Under 140 twice in recent years. In 2014 Notts led 6-3 but lost 9-7 with a disastrous run of six losses in the last seven games declared. History looked like repeating itself; Notts took an early lead with a couple of quick draws then a succession of wins and by halfway through were 5½-2½ ahead. But back came Hampshire and after 13 declarations were 7-6 in the lead. Then the Hampshire captain blundered disastrously allowing Notts to level. The other boards looked promising and it was no surprise when the West of England player conceded in a totally lost endgame on board 8. Before Board 2 could be advised that a draw was sufficient, players agreed a draw to see Notts through.
