Grantham 2 win against Gambit 2

I David     1    0    D Sudar
K McCarthy  1    0    J Tassi
T Palmer    .5   .5   B Hayward
B Mason     .5   .5   HR Edwards
C Cumbers   0    1    J Gardner

Grantham 2 won their latest match against Gambit 2 at home. Chris Cumbers was slightly worse when he dropped a piece. Trevor Palmer defended solidly all game. Kevin McCarthy took advantage when John Tassi mad a mistake, lost a bishop for two pawns and was eventually ground down. Ivan David played 1...g6 to Drag Sudar's 1.e4. Drag developed a very nice position with his Rook on e6 and his pawn still on e7. He then sacrificed a bishop for 3 pawns giving him the 'abcd' file pawns against open space. By his own admission, Drag made some very poor moves and Ivan David cruised to victory.
