It's not easy sitting there with earphones on and a head mic like some
hapless call centre clerk.
I had to push buttons, move the mouse and talk about the game.
(making it up as I went along - you need to have a script If you are
going to do this thing properly)
Keith was also trying to give me advice through the earphones telling
me to "hurry up and get on with it."
So we did a test run. We Played it back.
And I said "That will do."
So that's that out of the way - think I'll stick to writing about the game.

Yes, this was great, nice to hear the real voice instead of the fake scottish accent I had previously used in my head when reading your posts. Think Mel Gibson as William Wallace (sorry).
An added benefit is that the related video's had a Chess recording of JC Davis I'd never heard doing Chicken Scratch. Awesome!

Do you believe it - a GM actually tried to pull this h3 trick on me. I sat there, dude, do you really need this kind of tricks to get your way past a woodpusher like me? 😀
Still not found that game and still not solved your problem
you set in The Problemists Club. (it is hard).
Actually the best way to set that trap is 4.Be2
- 8
- a
- 7
- b
- 6
- c
- 5
- d
- 4
- e
- 3
- f
- 2
- g
- 1
- h
leaving free h3 for the a1 Rook to swing fro a1-a3-h3. And this is
really explained and analysed in detail in Rampant Chess in
the Aagaard - Ubilava game.
Your reaction to 4.h3 is the designed response to such a move.
My note after 4.h3! is:
"They don't like it up 'em." ( Corporal Jones in Dad's Army).
Adding the good guys think it's an insult to their manhood when you
set such a trap.
Glad some of you like the Youtube thing. The idea of doing a 5 move
draw simply appealed and it did actually happen.
There is a Glasgow player from the early 80's who twice caught
people with this trap and both times as white he went onto to lose.
