I thought of posting this in the other thread with games posted, but that was off topic. I also thought about starting a new thread where people could post their favourite games, or worst, or interesting or whatever. In the end I found this thread and as my game is a county match I thought this would be best place.
So here is my game against a 14 year old junior who had me quaking in my boots before I even sat down! 123 at 14 really means 140+ in adult terms so I sat down and tried to play a closed, boring position... but failed miserably. Happily the result wasn't so miserable.

Nice of him to let me mate him I thought. I wouldn't have.
