CHESS: Kidderminster's domination of Stafford teams continued with a 4-2 away victory in Wolverhampton League Division One.

Dave Close's enterprising opening play had his opponent foxed but Gerald Link was somewhat fortunate to defeat Stafford captain Andrew Leadbetter.

Brian Sharp engineered a winning attack against former Kidderminster player Gerald Acey.

The winning margin could have been greater as Jim Friar allowed himself to be checkmated while in a winning position.
