Sobieski Cup

8/3/2022 Final

Walter Burnett 1-0 Elliot Sloan 

The final of the Sobieski Cup as played on 8th of March 2022 at Pilrig Bowling Club.

Both players have seen a return to form recently and the game was an interesting one. 
Walter was white and played the kings gambit, Elliot countered with the Falkbeer Counter gambit and the complications ensued.

Walter triumphed in the end to become the 2022 Sobieski Cup Winner. "Game here"
