SCENES FROM AROUND 
THE HALL
BCC CHAMPIONSHIP

Charles Bing vs NM Andrew Hoy, make-up game.
Sir Charles was quite good through the first part of
a rook and pawn endgame but made a serious error
in judgment at the very end, highlighting
that rook and pawn endgames are really hard!
Good show Charles, you are a good sport.
Keep studying those endgame calculations.
