STANDARD

The Standard game was played on Friday at 17UTC, due to schedules incompatibilities by JWocky, and Keith agreed on playing this challenge on advance.

KeithHadden-JWocky (KeithHadden checkmated)
http://ficsgames.org/cgi-bin/show.cgi?ID=415471833

Code: Select all

IAHM-COL comments: This was a really interesting game on which JWocky played relentless, maintaining suffocating pressure, and taking massive advantage of just two different pawn moves by Keith. In addition a couple of alternative mates JWocky could have played are noted in the game database PGN files in github

Thanks guys for a really amazing Airport Cafe Chess Tournament with really strong games so far,
Looking forward to the concluding half.

Best,
IH-COL
