Here’s a match played before I had managed to learn anything much about the beautiful game. Lord knows what I was thinking here. Grant on the other hand had tightened up his game considerably, compared to when he had first joined Brighton & Hove Chess Club about 18 months previously. I was no match for him!
If your screen isn’t big enough to see this game properly you can also look at it in my Chess In The Cave channel. The only time I ever beat Grant Minshull again was in the somewhat unusual conditions shown in the following film. You can’t see the moves but you do get a taste for the challenging match atmosphere. The game starts at 1:40.
