Traditionally a time for looking back over the year. So we'll look back over a few games and ask, 'Well how did I get here?'
Board 1
This is the position after Black's 4th move. What were the moves in the game?
Board 2 and Board 3
Board 2 This is the position after Black's 6th move. What were the moves in the game?
Board 3 Exactly as for Board 2 but the Black Knight is on g8 instead of b8
Board 4
This is the position after Black's 7th move. What were the moves in the game?
Solutions (maybe) and credits in the New Year. Happy Christmas.
