After a poor result in their first game, Colchester A have won four matches in a row. The most recent match was a 3-1 away win against Witham A to move them up to 2nd place in Division 1. Svein was first to finish, while he was definitely winning was his opponent's resignation premature?

{This game ended fairly quickly. After} 19. Bxf6 {Black resigned. Some
commented that it was premature. I also had that feeling, even though I knew
