Re: BRITISH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS - THE GAMES
Oh, I agree it was good on move 24, but I'm saying you didn't actually predict the game move (you improved on it!).Phil Makepeace wrote:Sure, but can you find a refutation to the twin threats along the a1-h8 diagonal (Rxd8+ etc) and the simple cxb7? The queen would have been defending the c1 rook.

Great game (even if blitz) to round off a really good championship

Well, I guessed Adams' last two moves correctly...
Congrats to the winner. Youth (sort of) triumphed again, and all that.

Re: BRITISH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS - THE GAMES
Agree. Bf4 was an unsucessful choice in my opinion. But gf6 Caro is part of Shorts normal repetoire now. Quite an interesting one too, since the Caro is attracting a different sort of Black player than in the Karpov era. At GM level a lot of the games are tactical Advance lines.JustinHorton wrote:He also played it in a game he annotated in New In Chess not very long ago.Gavin Strachan wrote:Short played this variation in an earlier game (Nf6 caro)

Time to lay bets on how long the Armageddon link will stay on that page.
No, seriously, many thanks to all involved in the live coverage.
