It’s often said that it’s a small world, however that seems to hold particularly true in the upper-echelons of London chess where our newest member, Marios, recognised a recent opponent of Sheikh’s in their last Thames Valley game.
It turns out that Marios had played – and beaten – the 185-rated Timothy Seymour in the rarefied surroundings of the High Wycombe Open in 2012.
Luckily for us, he’s kept an annotated and well-commentated version of the game which you can view here.
It’s a hard-fought and ultimately satisfying game, so thank to Marios for sharing with us! If any other members have a particularly memorable game they’d like to share (victories or defeats – we can learn from both!), do please get in touch so that we can share with all our members.
Nice game by Marios! Punishing the fact that Black decided to play with the King in the centre the whole game 🙂
