LCB - Season Opener 2016 - 02 April 2016
York Hall, London

Heavyweights Dan Chandler from London and Lars “Lazarus” Bjorknas from Finland provided the headline bout which went the full 11 rounds with the lighter Chandler using his extra mobility to edge the boxing side of the contest. On the chess board the advantage was firmly with the man from Helsinki up until round 9 when he inexplicably blundered a rook, failing to live up to his nickname in a most emphatic style. Indeed it was truly a “Lazarus-like” return from the dead for Chandler who duly converted the victory with 30 seconds to go in the final round.
