Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexYeah - just played over the game. A classic.
Yeah, a bit unlucky for jack. although mike surtees is not to be underestimated - he just beat paul littlewood today (albeit with a bit of a swindle, but they all count...)
Mike's opening play!? - I hope some of the players on here don't
look at Mike's opening in this game.
We will have to get him to join RHP just to answer their questions.
It's all very refreshing in this age of worshipping the Opening Book.

Admit it it. You are really JonathanB of Bristol.
Incidentally, my report from this morning
http://streathambrixtonchess.blogspot.com/2009/07/s-young-uns-and-lack-of-cash.html
features a very nice finish from my friend Angus French in the major open and a segement about George Salimbeni who a year ago - give or take a month - was playing me and yesterday was playing GM Peter Wells.
Jack Rudd beat me in Rd 3 of the 2006 EU Champs. The game ran to 45+ moves. I'd used all my time; Jack had, with the added increment, used minus time. I deduced that he'd grown younger during the game. It goes without saying that I'd aged rather more 😕
Don't blame Jack though. He moves fast because he must; the way he is..and stuff. Fine player still.
On games, I lack the know-how to post Arkell-Storey from Rd 4. A quite brilliant game from the inventive Charles. Well worth a look at the total demolition of a GM by an amateur player

Glad to hear it's all been resolved.
Originally posted by Fat LadyYes, I never got a kick. Jack's Nh5 is completely wrong of course, but it so fazed me, I turned it into a reasonable move. After that, I could never get any squares. I also found it very disconcerting, never having met JR before, to spend, say, twenty minutes over a move whereupon Jack would return to the board and move instantly! This might be misinterpreted by some players 🙂
