Here is Grahams game from thursday against Stockport, after totally failing to get motivated for the game his opponent chuckled at Graham’s 1….f5 response to 1. c4, thus solving the motivation problem. Sadly he was not in fact laughing at the move, he had been preparing 1. Nf3 during the day expecting to maybe play Dave Newell and his dutch but then got Graham instead, apparently Dave has a game or two on the Stockport chess club database but Graham does not, so not realising his preperation for the Dutch would still be useful opened with 1. c4, losing any real chance to play some of the sharp and prepared 1. Nf3 lines. Bit of a bugger life sometimes.
Anyway on with the game.
1. c4 f5
2. Nc3 d6 trying for an early e5, if White plays d4 to stop this then we are back into main line leningrad
3. g3 e5 4. d3 Nf6 5. Bg2 g6 6. Nf3 c6 7. OO Bg7 8. Rab1 OO
Nice Leningrad like structure, Grham is I think at least level
9. b4 Nh5 10. Qb3 f4
11. c5+ d5 12. e4 fxe3 What do we think about 12. Ne4 here, is it a nuisance if it then goes to d6, anyway back to the game.
13. fxe3 Kh8 releiving pressure on d5
14. e4 (half a question mark)
14. d4
15. Na4 Qe8
16. Bd2 Be6 17. Qa3 cheap trick
17. ……Na6 18. Ng5 Interesting position with quite a lot going on and on the basis that the Queen is best remaining on d8 supporting the pawn on c6 against whites b5 then
18….. Rxf1 19. Bxf1 Bg8 20. Be2 Nf6? I have given it a question mark as I dont think its necesary to move it, an immediate ….h6 maybe

Notice that a separate image for each diagram is an ineffective way of showing chess diagrams on web pages. A much better way is to display an 8 by 8 table of images for the individual squares. In this way, the user’s browser needs to download the images of the individual squares only once and then further diagrams will be of lesser burden to the bandwidth. In fact, if you use JavaScript smartly, the code for a diagram will be more or less the same length as the usual text description of a diagram.
