Once a month, Grandmaster
Larry Christiansen gives a simultaneous exhibition at Boston's South Station. Salem CHESS CLUB thanks the GM, the organizers, and the sponsors for making the event happen.
Here, in the first game, the Gabridoodle got a bit
cocky and tried his new move -- he learned it from videos on teh interwebs, of course. When placing a knight on a good outpost, screw it in like a
lightbulb ! Needless to say, Christiansen had seen this before.
The Gabridoodle lost the first two games, the second a very brisk miniature. He also lost the third, but in that one he mounted a
spirited defense. In fact, a passerby asked to photograph the notation ! This left the Gabridoodle
chuffed but he managed to stop himself from puffing.
