I can't believe Adams castled, I never would have guessed that. Is he now getting his king's rook back onto the kingside via b6?

A bit premature though, wouldn't you say?

Well, White resigned, so maybe there is another line. Not sure what happened there.

EDIT: Strange. Sreeves-Hawkins was showing 0-1, but now a game in progress has appeared.

I'd resign that position. White is getting massacred.

EDIT: Atako-Adams is the game here.

You're probably right. The more I look at it the easier Black's win seems.

Didn't Gormally just blunder a pawn in the opening. Then offered the draw on the basis of 300 elo difference. Slightly surprised that Richard Britton, a player of vast experience and probably a bit undergraded, accepted.

What's the assessment in Short-Conquest? White looks a safe pawn up and winning.

EDIT: Nelson-Hebden looks interesting (after 47.h5).

Draw offered by Britton I think, he played the last move. I imagine part of him was hoping Gormally would decline, difficult to believe white has enough.

I don't believe Simon Ansell played 34 bd4 :)

Thanks for that, Jack. Suppose I should have realised that seeing as the last move was Black's. Still, it was just a blunder in the opening.
