The Casual Opponent

While the major purpose of a chess club is to organise competitions, they also serve as a place for casual games to take place. During my travels I've occasionally dropped into a chess club, and found myself playing a few "friendlies"  against the locals. Often my opponent (and their strength) is completely unknown to me, which makes the game even more of a challenge.
Of course I sometimes become the "local player" especially at Street Chess. This most recently occurred at the Canberra Chess Club, where I was serving as the "House Player". As there was no need for me to play last Wednesday evening, I instead played a quite interesting (and untimed) casual game instead.
