Having lost all previous games in this league, I thought this game would probably go the same way. I castled Queenside and my position was precarious to say the least, but my opponent missed a simple check that he couldn't block without losing his queen for my rook - so that was the game, sewn up nicely ... ! A note about the opening: The 3. .. Na5 idea came from an old chess publication I had lying around and is apparently a bit of a novelty. It was once played by Graham Miles back in the day, and I believe he had favourable results with this opening idea ...?!
As usual, any comments welcome ...
