Thanks to Rudra for the game below - a fantastic result on his league debut.
A couple of games to post...thanks to Bill for the first one, from the SNCL where he had White against Shriya Madhu from the Edinburgh West 3 team. Bill writes: She was in a bind for a while but difficult to see a way through until I spotted the sacrifice on move 23. 24...Nh5 was the best defence and it took me a minute or two to see that swapping queens was the answer followed by Re8+ and Bf6+.
This second game was played between Toby and Kenny in the Lindsay Cup. The Queens are exchanged early on, only to both make a re-appearance later in the game.
The fledgling Clacks County chess club hosted a simultaneous display with GM Jacob Aagard. Thanks to John Blake and Dave Hewitt for providing one of the games below, where John had Black. I don't know if there were any other performances as good as John's, but if there were please pass them on.
