About 30 club members were treated to a piece of Russell's mind yesterday, when he invited club members to submit games that went wrong, in order to demonstrate strategic thinking in the middle game. A strong theme was putting your pieces on sensible squares so they don't get shut out of the action, the first two games from Andreas and me were prime examples of ignoring this.
Everyone found it a very enjoyable and highly informative evening. Russell finished it off by playing through his brilliant win against Anthony last week in the Julian Mazur Memorial.
Just my luck that the first two games were mine :)
