Thanks Bob. Nigel is looking good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel is an inspiration to the juniors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this tournament last year Nigel gained 15 grading points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 grading points wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you mean.
QUOTE: "Nigel is looking good."
The games have not started yet?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! I just turned on Fritz 12 and it says
Black is 0.09 pawns ahead and nobody has moved yet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it they have started.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel is looking good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if Luke is going to play the Grunfeld again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke is an inspiration to the juniors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke has gained 32 grading points
since taking up the Grunfeld.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 grading points wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to enjoy this.
The Grunfeld in Luke's hands is a Killer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Killer Diller Smasherooooo!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go Luke Baby.
Just smash that White centre.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke is White today.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to try out that Grunfeld tonight in a league match.
We are playing Tooting II
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From your house to Tooting take the b69, turn right at Mandela Junction.
Take the 5th turning on the right and you are there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tooting board 6 player is graded 1712,
last year he was 1701. That's a rise of 11 grading points!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Grading points Wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OH NO!
Keith has double pawns and it's only move 4.
He must be lost in the ending.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keith is an inspiration to the juniors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's OK. I'm at work. I cannot get near Fritz.
But if Keith plays.
5.cxd4 Bb4+ 6.Bd2 Qb6 7.Nf3 Bxd2+ 8.Qxd2 Ne7 9.Nc3 Bd7
10.Bd3 Nbc6 11.a3 Nxd4 12.Nxd4 Qxd4 13.0-0 Qxe5
I think he will be 1.09 of a pawn ahead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a pity you cannot get near a computer.
Fritz is such an inspiration to the juniors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keith was only 1.08 of a pawn ahead v Kamsky and won
He gained 6 grading points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Grading Points wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you played over the Arkle - Kamsky game?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No. But it did gain Keith 6 grading points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well done Keith. Wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember that game. It won a Brilliancy Prize.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.....and the 6 Grading Points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you actually play over any games?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No. Not recently.
Kamsky lost 9 grading points for losing to Keith Arkle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have any Chess Books?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Grading List.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hubba Bubba!!
Mark Hebden is playing a Queens's Gambit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark is an inspiration to the juniors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He played it against me last year in a simul.
He smashed me up in 11 moves.
I think he must have prepared the game for me and now
he is putting the preparation to good use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ha! He probably does not even know who you are.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes he does, he signed the score sheet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You don't lose any grading points for losing a game at a simul.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You lasted 11 moves against Mark Hebden. Wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke's game is hotting up.
Can he play Bxh7+ and mate in 3?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YES!!!
Go Luke baby smash him with the Bishop sacrifice.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yahooo!!! The Bishop sac is sound.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grading points for Luke alright. Lots of Grading Points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of Grading Points. Wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke has agreed a draw.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surely you turn left at Mandela Junction to get to Tooting?
I turned left there last season.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes but you come from the opposite direction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No I don't, I've lived there for years.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey!
Look at Stuart Conquest's game.
What does Rc7 look like?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Board 11 is finished already!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These quick Grandmaster Draws are ruining the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any juniors watching this will be put off playing the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never mind the Juniors.
Sponsors. What about the Sponsors?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something must be done about these short GM's draws.
Grrr.................
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Board 11 actually ended in a checkmate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mickey Adams has not made a move yet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mickey is an inspiration to the juniors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe he has slept in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mickey slept in at Barcelona 15 years ago
and it cost him 12 grading points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 Grading points Wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has anybody got Mickey's mobile number.
Give him a call to wake him up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Howell is playing his 17th Ruy Lopez of the season.
(Mickey's mobile number is 07598885552321).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David is such an inspiration to the junior player.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What great games and I'm at work.
I cannot get near a computer but if David now plays
15.Rac1 Bc6 16.b4 a6 17.a4 Qb8 18.b5 axb5 19.axb5 Bd7 20.Qb2 0-0 21.Re3 Nf5
22.Bxf5 exf5 23.Rg3 g6 24.Nxd5 f6 25.Nxf6+ Rxf6 26.Qxf6 Qf4 27.Rgc3 Rf8 28.Qe7
He will I think be +1.02!!!!!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boys I do not think it's a good
idea to call Mickey on the mobile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey that mobile number you gave out was wrong.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last year 115,089 mobile numbers were given out wrongly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
115,089 Wow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERK! Nigel has lost.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That loss will cost him 11 grading points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But how could he lose that position?
He was a piece up????
(11 grading points. Wow!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hate work. I'd just love to see what Fritz would say.
But I think Nigel was winning.

Nigel's mobile went off.
He has been awarded a loss. He is fuming.
