Part One:
St John's on st John's violence! Alan took white on board four against my trusty (rusty?) blacks. Annotation and commentary follows: 1 e4 Nf6 - Alekhine attempted as defence against his kings gambit 2 Nc3 d5 - I didn't want to enter the Vienna game so delayed Scandinavian 3 d4 dxe4 - free pawn but as usual hes up to something 4 f3 Bf5 - exf3 would be a mistake, far too much development for him 5 Be3 e6 6 Qe2 Nc6 7 0-0-0 Bb4 - x-ray city but I'm threatening the kings pawn defence structure 8 Qc4 Bxc3 9 Qxc3 exf3 - now I take that pawn 10 Nxf3 0-0 - I played with Ne4 forking queen and bishop but went for safety first 11 Bg5 Qe7 - gets my queen out of x-ray and sets up the next move 12 Ne5 Nb4 - threatening a deadly fork but also threatens to win the c pawn 13 Bc4 Nxc2 - fork averted so I nabbed a pawn 14 Bxf6 gxf6 - taking with my queen loses a piece, so have to settle for wrecked pawn structure in front of his majesty 15 Qg3+ Kh8 16 Qh4 Ne3 17 Bd3 Nxd1 - thought for a long while but cant see a downside to taking 18 Bxf5 exf5 - sexy tripled pawns 19 Rxd1 Rae8 20 Re1 fxe5 - and Alan resigned 0-1 David Knave Part Two: NCCA Division 3 Report StJ Knights v StJ Knaves 17th Jan 2019 Board 1 David (Hardly Hoskins) McLean 1 v 0 C Neil The Petroff isn't seen much today So what is the right way to play? Please understand I chose the wrong plan And Sir Harry got (M)clean away Charlie Neil
