It seems I am a "Surgeon" that must be down to all the time I spent In Hospitals! It had my openings spot on, so I have to give it some credence, "Nurse pass me my scalpel"

Re: Nice Combination
Hi Nick, just played through the game, very nice! 21.Rxc5 deserves the exclamation, when did you see the capture? what were your thoughts from then on? An exclamation does not quite say it all. Coincidently I faced a Reti opening in a league match last night, I have not had one for a long time and f...

Re: Chess DB
Hi Ian. I never knew about clicking left and right. This is super fun. The other lad is my great friend Johnny Marr who has sadly past away. How apt that he should be there, he taught me 99% of what I know about the game and was a constant source of encouragement. I see if you click left on yours y...

Re: Chess DB
Thanks Rob for the information, I have a brother named John but he is not a chess player, I should have known it was a Division One Team as you don't get such an impressive looking trophy in Division Two! : )

From the recent Chester tournament taking the Major results as an example players who attained a 50% score 2.5 pts would recieve £20 each (£30 entry-£10 tournament costs) players ...
