The weather in Canberra has been fabulous over the last week, ideal fro playing chess outdoors. So I dropped in to Street Chess (link on left) and even decided to play for a few rounds. I was a little rusty but that is no excuse for what happened in the following game. Playing perennial winner Shervin Rafizadeh I bashed out a dozen moves of Dragon theory as White and then on move 14 began to think. What I came up with was (a) This looks like a trap from Winning with the Dragon by Chris Ward and (b) What's the worst that can happen? I quickly found out
Press, Shaun v Rafizadeh, Shervin
