26 February

Tonight we looked at Dylan's game featuring the very sharp Two Knights defence.

It featured some really helpful tips for club players including the advantage of the Bishop pair, King safety, Rook on the 7th rank and having an active King and pieces in the endgame.

18 February

Tonight we looked at Andeel's brilliant game in the League v Chorlton. It was a classic in the control he kept throughout the game and the tactical finish at the end. I would have been proud to have play that game myself.


11 February

Tonight we looked at the brilliant attacking game from Boris Spassky in 1960 against the legendary David Bronstein.

It's a stark reminder as to how chess used to be played compared to todays sometimes very boring games
