An instructive quick win from a Met 1 vs Met 2 match.

A wild and fun game with a cheeky finish

Tactics abound at the 4NCL as Ian gambits a pawn in the opening for a big lead in development. A very elegent finish ensues.

Another IM fails to get the better of George!

Zafer Djabri v M. Smith (Streatham II)
Both sides take a turn at attacking on an open board, but in the end Zafer calculates one move further..
R Garrett v Stuart Pink
A young Stuart playing in the BCF U14 squad championship sacrifices piece after piece to tear his opponent's kingside to shreds in 3 moves.
Nick Noden v Geoff Keeling
