Ludlow v Oswestry A
Joe Watson vs. Charles L Higgie
Annotated by charleshiggie (2222): So this was the first game of the season in the Shropshire League for Oswestry A. Thankfully we won 5-0 to go top of the league! So it starts conventionally enough.

Annotated by elyhim (1200): This game is an instructive example of how to handle positions when you come out of the middle game with an extra pawn. In theory if you are one pawn to the good you should win the game. However, in order to win you must show superior end game play and practice patience. My plan in this game was a simple one. My first objective was to steer the game into quiet waters. I did this by avoiding…
