IM Paul Littlewood's three winning choices
are:
1. David Ashton vs. Michael Yeo. The annotations are full of interest
and are always objective. The positional piece sacrifice that occurs in
the game, with no obvious immediate win in sight, is a
delightful concept. I have actually analysed the game myself with the
help of Fritz and it appears that, even with the better defence
suggested on move 18 by Mike in his notes, Black still retains winning
chances.
All-in-all, a really fun game which I would have liked to have played
myself!
2.
Richard Savory vs. Paul Webster. A well executed
positional crush where Black was given no chance for
counterplay!
3.
John Feavyour vs. Tyson Mordue. A real
tussle with excellent notes by Tyson. The final manoeuvring
by the three black pieces against the White Queen is a
classic example of how to dominate her majesty!
20.07.2011 - The rules for
the coming 2011/2012 season have now been
finalised and can be found on the
