Today saw the first regular meeting of Suffolk Junior Chess's new online chess club which is based on ChessKid. We held a mini-tournament which was very experimental, if not for the kids, then definitely for the organiser (me)! While we are still ironing out the details, the club meets regularly on Tuesday and Friday evenings - times to be finalised, but currently 6.30pm to 8.30pm. The tournament went really well and round 3/3 saw a tussle for victory between RichSmoothPanda and TheWorldOfLegend. When TheWorldOfLegend lost a rook at move 36 after dRd4, other players watching online may have thought that RichSmoothPanda was going to win the match. However TheWorldOfLegend hung on for victory - very well played. But - what move could TheWorldOfLegend have played to save the rook? The position at move 36 for white is shown below and the moves played for the whole game are also shown. The tournament was won by RichSmoothPanda - very well played. If you want to play in the next event, which will happen this Friday, you will need to join the club.
