Too Much Golf by Carl Hibbard
|
|
|
|
|
|
I hate to do this to Jonathan (well not really!) but here is a very
short contribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would not normally sink as low as publishing this but after
Jonathan beat me in
|
|
|
the club quickplay with a profound single move knight fork
combination I feel I can
|
|
|
just about get away with it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
This game emphasizes what can happen in retirement if you spend too
much of your
|
|
|
spare time playing golf and not enough time on the Internet Chess Club
trying to
|
|
|
improve your chess....

Ladder Game - 11/07/2002
|
|
|
White:- Carl Hibbard
|
|
|
Black:- Jonathan Rashleigh
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. d4 d5
|
|
|
I don't normally play 1. d4 but then Jonathan has gone all aggressive
recently so
|
|
|
something a little quieter is probably the key
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. c4 e6
|
|
|
3. Nc3 c5
|
|
|
Okay so it is a Tarrasch which is a refreshing change if you actually
play 1. d4
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Nf3 Nc6
|
|
|
5. Bf4 cxd4 for some reason the books critisise my move but I am not
sure why?
|
|
|
6. Nxd4 Qb6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is going too far with the aggressive style and perhaps 6.....
Bb4 is better
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Ndb5 Bc5
|
|
|
8. e3 d4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So things are getting a little desperate now but 8..... e5 fills the
scoresheet
|
|
|
with far more moves if you feel you need to do that sort of thing
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Bc7 Qa6 to be fair Jonathan did resign here thinking his queen was
trapped
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would not let him however and pointed out the excellent 'a6' square
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. exd4 Bb4
|
|
|
11. d5 Na5 and Resigns 1-0
|
|
|
|
|
|
The final position is so bad it deserves a diagram doesn't it:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Naturally I just play 12. Be5 and it is time to put the pieces in the
box before
|
|
|
someone comes and watches
|
|
|
|
|
|
I hope you enjoyed this more than the new league chairman!
