Meeting with a GrandMaster


feeling a bit tired today after playing chess last night against Grandmaster John Emms: John Emms is one of the UK's leading Grandmasters and has captained England in 2 chess Olympiads - he is also a very nice guy. He was giving a simultaneous as part of the Sandwich Festival - Sandwich being that sleepy but beautiful Kentish town rather than a random amount of bread and various cold meats!!

I will put the game up here - once I get home and work out how to upload it; but it was an exciting attacking display of powerful top level chess that had the audience glued to their seats - Grandmaster Emms played well too - LOL

The result was a draw and I won a copy of his renowned book - now if only I had read that before the game!!
