Looking at the last ECF grading list, the Hammer star turn has undoubtedly been Chris Moore, who has improved his grade over 2 years from 88 to 121, which means the Chris of 2017 would score 80% against the Chris of 2015 – if you believe the grading system!
This is particularly interesting as Chris was in the same situation as a number of other new (and newish) members of the club, who have all played some social chess before and are certainly not beginners, but on the other hand are not used to facing experienced club players regularly.
Chris has successfully bridged this gap in a short period of time, and in this session we will look at how his play has changed to achieve this, together with some suggestions regarding where he could look to improve further.
There will of course also be some concrete chess analysis, with a bit about opening theory and discussions of both positional and tactical themes.
Details:
- The Albion Pub, Hammersmith Road, upstairs function room
- Monday 21st August
- Starting 7.30pm
Our top player Carsten Pedersen (206) will be hosting the session – See you there!
Really looking forward to it Carsten – I’ll try to get down a bit early.
