Game 3  B Wallace (108) - B Challis (110 est). Cumbria Championships (Minor), March 2006. A lucky win by Bob Challis in the 2006 individual county championships.

Game 4  Grandmaster J Mercadal (2563) - S Murdoch (2242). International Correspondence Chess Federation Jubilee Tournament, 2003. A rare individual encounter between a Penrith player - Steve Murdoch, here - and an international grandmaster. It is an exceptionally deep annotation of an email correspondence game.

Game 5  B Mackay - G Glover. South Lakes Congress, 1993. A nice finish from Brian Mackay.
Game 6  J McAtear (136) - D Cole (141). Penrith A v Barrow A, 6 May 2006. This match was played to determine the overall county second place, Penrith having taken second place in the north and Barrow in the south.. Penrith lost 3-1, but Jacob had an interesting game against Dave Cole, president of the county association.

Game 7  P Greziukowicz - B Mackay. Penrith Chess Club, 1993. Peter Grezuikowicz, one of the founder members of what is now Penrith Chess Club, died, sadly, in January 2006. This game is nobly donated by the loser, Brian Mackay, one of Peter's club mates.

Game 8  A McAtear (110) - G Christie (117). South Lakes Congress (Under 130), June 2006. Andy McAtear's skilful use of a blunt instrument in the 2006 tournament at Grange-over-Sands.

Game 9  J McAtear (136) - R Nixon (151). Penrith A v SASRA, 29 October 2005.  A good win by Jacob in the team's early-season draw against SASRA.

Game 10  Kidd - B Mackay. Halifax Congress, 1991. Touch and go, 'a typical Congress game' in the view of the winner. Game 11  A McAtear (117) - I Mackay (107). Austin Friars C v Penrith B, 20 January 2007. Serious annotations of a Division 2 league match.

Game 12  G Rowan (89) - S Lowis (77). Austin Friars D v Penrith B, 27 January 2007 A game of manoeuvring and a sudden conclusion.
