(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Goderich-Kincardine play to draw Last week the regular schedule was adjourned to host the Kincardine Chess Club in a return tournament. In October Goderich went to Kin- cardine and earned a hard fought draw. Ten players were present - 'from each club with each club winning five games. Thistime, we went into the tournament deter- mined to prove ourselves the stronger club, However, as the results started to become known it was evident that we had our hands full. Kin- cardine took the first game and four of the first six. Goderich bounced back to win the seventh but still trailed 4-3. Later in the evening the results of two more games were announced. Goderich and Kincardine won one apiece. With two games in progress Kincardine still had a 5-4 edge.,. On examining the two remaining games it was seen that either game °could go either way. Time ran out on the last two games and as previously decided two members (one from each club) had to judge whether there was a clear win in each of the two games. The first game was judged in favour of Goderich to tie the score at 5-5 but there wase no advantage gained by either -side in the. other game. This game had to be declared a draw which meant the entire tour- nament ended in a draw. The final score being 5-1/2 to 51,4. So Goderich and Kincardine have now met twice and drawn twice. We are now looking forward to a third match in the near future to see if a winner can be declared. Winning in the tour- nament for •Goderich were Charlie MacDonald, Jim' Kingsley, Darrell Clutton, Kirk Lyndon and Steve Hammill with Bob Dick p.laying to a draw. Winning for Kincardine were Laverne Riley, Jeff and Bill K'rasinski with Emmerton, Gilles Milos Minic playing to a Doucet, Mike Gauthier draw.
