Told a colleague I once played Rachel Reeves at chess - he thought I said Rachel Riley. That’s all i have to say on the matter.

Listening to the latest @chessfeelspod (yay!) and reflecting that my rating would be much lower if 18-1900s didn’t take weirdly long in non-forcing positions…

Random bit of chess trivia - my opponent last night played the game that Kasparov rated the most exciting he ever saw!

From last night’s game - I played 18.Nxh5 which is OK but not best. I rejected 18.Qxh5 because of 18…Bg7 with pressure for Black on the h-file, but I should have looked deeper - what would have happened next?

Just got to 3/3 OTB this season after a win against a 2200 ECF opponent - not sure what’s going on but quite happy for it to continue for a while!

First OTB game of the new season. Turns out that sometimes (very occasionally) we beat IMs…😀
Chess - such a simple game! #PlayTheScotch🏴🏴🏴 #PlayBe2

Had this position as White against a 2300 ECF with 20 seconds on the clock - guess what I played…

Won tonight’s OTB game quickly and smoothly - 21 moves as Black against ECF 2000. Not many key moments but this is the position after White’s move 11, what’s your evaluation and what would you play here as Black?
