Kd2 Qxb2 I particularly enjoyed this game because, despite the loss, I believe I played the opening brilliantly and gave him a real scare with a series of forcing and occasionally even imaginative moves. It was only my error on move 26 that spoiled the possibility of a very decent result, but it didn't spoil my weekend and I love the game even more for my experience! 0-1 [Gawne M.]
