Greedy Guts

After a long while away from blogging I've decided to start blogging regularly once again.  I will be posting the blog both on here and on Blogger (as there apparently is some readers of my blog who couldn't find my material here (such as the Parramatta Chess Club president! lol)

My first blog back is about a game I played today at the Campbelltown Collegians chess club Autumn Championships.  I played one of my best friends, Lance Chiddy.  Now I'm rated ACF 1553 and Lance is rated about 900-1000.  But to my astonishment Lance lost a pawn then an exchange to force three fold repetition.... by the 18th move!

The game can be found here

The moral of the story is...... analyse carefully before you leap and do not underestimate your opponent
