e3 Poison: A 21st Century Opening Repotiore

Craig Evans  Thursday, August 2, 2018

Ian is an exceptionally dangerous player, and there is no doubt that he seems to particularly thrive in team events - Ian's best performances seem to come for the 'greater good', and he's not afraid to bloody a few noses! This game is one of my favourites (as it seems an opening I hate get decimated), and gives me the picture of a caped crusader throwing his pieces violently at the opponent. If only he could find his Robin, the Welsh Chess teams could be spurred onto even greater heights. Enjoy!

As the new season approaches us a few reminders:

• Make sure you know the deadlines for entries for events you are interested in
• Look at your current game load, how many new games can you take on?
• Do you have an adjudication dates on any of your current games approaching? If the position is drawn then agreeing terms before the date will save work!
• Do you know the new events coming up: (British Champs, WCCF8, Club (BCCA, SM, Natcor……), Counties and Districts, European Champs (Open and Prelim). If not then ask!
