Today's game between M.Illingworth of AUS and A. Viani D'Cunha of India has got off to a strange start indeed. Only 11 moves in and black seems completely lost.

Story so far


Black didn't read the bit in the beginner's manuals about not charging around with your queen early on. But most sensible ideas don't apply in the Tromp.

He only played two more moves. One of those to forget I think.
