I've been playing chess in my local (Oxfordshire) league for ten years now. Until this season I had played precisely zero women, but this season three out of my seven opponents have been women, and I will probably play two of them again in the return matches. Anyway, here is my latest effort. My attempt to play the always-exciting Caro Kann failed and I was forced into a cavalier Old Indian.
10 Years....I played 33 years in the Edinburgh Chess League.
Some of them (er....all of them) contained an unsound trick like the game below.
Re: woman. Played a fair few but I kept getting paired with
members of Scotland's Olympiad team winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 4!
Elaine Rutherford did the damage. She does not fall for tricks.
Unlike this lad.

I simply could not resist my 18th move. This failure to hold back when
I knew there was a refutation has lost me games but I won more than
I've lost, a lot more, so I'll never change.
Hi KP.
No I've not played a Russian woman, have enough trouble when I'm
playing members of the Scottish Female Olympiad team.
I think Datafly plays in the same club as Heather Lang (another member
of the Scottish Olympiad team.) she probably has a huge plus against him.
Played GM Keti Arakhamia Grant at blitz, I even manage to win one.
