Actually in Hebden-Summerscale, Black's Knight having won the g3 pawn is not now in a great place. I mean Black can't seriously go g5 here, can he. Otherwise, Hebden is doing rather well.

Thanks Paul, I read that and I still can't believe Jack wrote it - and remember I am the guy who said Vera M wasn't up to much.

Agreed to some extent. Without consulting the silicon idiot, I reckon Black's plan is Be8-d7-f5-e4 followed by Ng3-f5. Guess White might forestall this with Nxd7, but then Black has Ng3-f1-h2-g4.

To be fair to Jack, Aaron Summerscale *is* better than Vera Menchik :wink:

(just joking, Aaron!)

Ah - g7-g5. Freeing the h-pawn for some horse racing.

Wasn't 24 Re1 clearer for Short. This looks good enough mind.

Isn't Hebden just playing Nd3 and then to f4. It's a bit of a mess after Ne1 but surely better for White.

I mean he does have a reserve passer on the Q side - this is why I doubted that Black could go ge a few posts ago.

Pert is playing draughts against Hunt. He might have no white squares but he does have a monster on d6.

Hebden seems better, meanwhile Short might win also leaving two clear leaders assuming Adams converts.

Williams has complicated, is this the beginning of a miracle save?
