Little Heath, Brookmans Park and Potters Bar Chess Club

Notes for Tuesday 13th November 2007

We looked at the game Cooper v Cook played on 12th November.

Replay the game here

I commented that I didn't play the opening very well especially from this position:-

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4 Nf6 5. O-O

According to John Emms in 'Play The Open Games as Black' the most reliable continuation is 5....Nxe4.

Look at the game and practice winning the position from move 29.
