To play through any of the games below, scroll down until the whole of a game-pane is visible

click repeatedly on the horizontal scrollbar arrow (towards bottom right of the game-pane). Comments will from
time to time appear in the bottom part of the game-pane, but please note that the board display is not drag-and-drop, so to try out any variations you will have to use your own set.

Game 1: Michael Adams v Jan Werle
The Staunton Memorial Tournament was played in London in August 2007.
Michael Adams (white) won the tournament, and also the Sobkowski chess set for this fine game -
adjudged to be the best of the tournament.
Game 2 was played in Stockport League's 1st Division
This wild game was played in a match between East Cheshire A and Marple A in December 2005.
White resigned, in time trouble, aware that his attack was stalling and that he was a piece
down. But his main fears, loss of his queen or even mate, were ill-founded!
Game 3: An Historic Game of Capablanca's, MOSCOW, 1914
This game was played in Moscow in 1914. It shows Capablanca's almost magical ability to
out-think his opponents.

Game 4: An exciting game from a recent inter-club match
This game was played in the Stockport League's 2nd Division in November 2007, between John Reed (ECF 148, East Cheshire's top board) and L Smith, playing for Stockport C.
It is a good example of the fierce and exciting play which can result from the Four Pawns Attack against the King's Indian Defence.
