TURNED out on top board this evening for Battersea 3 against TfL (Transport for London) in division two of the Central London League.
I thought I was much better for most of the middlegame, but play eventually petered out into a drawn ending, and I was sure I must have missed a chance - or chances - to gain the upper hand.
Our captain, whose opponent did not show, watched the game quite closely, and he too was convinced I had been much better.
However, having put it into ChessBase, I find the game seems to have never left the drawing margin. Indeed, my main analysis engines, Stockfish9 and Komodo9, reckon my opponent had a slight edge for much of the game - certainly more often than I had an edge.
I will look at the game in more detail tomorrow - it should be a useful learning experience.
MY Battersea unbeaten streak has now reached 17 games.

I begin this blog after getting back into league chess following many years' absence due to work. My post-job status also means I am able to play more tournament chess. My new club in London is Battersea and my first game for them is on Thursday September 14, 2017. I start with a Fide rating of 1858, an ECF grade of 169 (=1968 elo) and an ICCF correspondence rating of 2267. My current Fide is 2035, my ECF is 1942 and my ICCF is 2374.
