I had a fair few interesting games at the British Championship this year, the most painful of which was my loss to Lawrence Trent. Lawrence is a very talented player and came up with a great defensive idea. Most onlookers I spoke to after the game thought that the plan was just plain crazy but it turned out to be a stroke of genius.
I have attempted to analyse the game via video. Just enter this post and press play and hopefully you can see my analysis. Please bear with me as this was my first attempt so it has been a learning curve but if it gets a good response I will post some more in the future. Please leave your comments!
Great video and an interesting game!
Maybe 17….h6 was a slight mistake. 17….Qb6 would force 18.Rb1 (or 18.b3) as 18.Qc1 as in the game would leave f2 undefended.
I take it that the next video won’t be covering the following Williams – Trent game (although I found it interesting!) ?!
