Merece la pena que veais esta posición. Juegan las negras y tienen la posibilidad de hacer una combinación magistral. ¿Cuál es la línea? He sacado el ejemplo del encuentro Hobson Kenneth - Roberson Peter T 4NCL Div 1 2025-26 del 8 de febrero 2026.

Just a modest 100 point rating gain for WIM Bodhana Sivanandan! #chess #englishchess @OnTheQueenside

Enjoyed another weekend at the @4NCL — lost two long strategic battles against higher-rated opposition. Results aside, a great competition as always. Many thanks to the organisers.

GM Gawain Jones (White Rose) beat GM Jonathan Parker (Barbican 4NCL) in one of the weekends 4NCL heavyweight match-ups. It was a tremendously interesting game, and decisive as White Rose won the match by 1 point. #chess #englishchess

In Rd 6 of the 4NCL, CSC/Kingston 1's GM Ameet Ghasi received a gift from Celtic Tigers' Marco Gallana. Ghasi pounced on the moment to forget from the Italian, who resigned on move 17 when faced with losing his queen. #chess #englishchess

Yesterday was not enough, so today I'm bumped up to Board 1 and playing against 2022 British Champion Harry Grieve! Fun fact, the last Argentinian on Board 1 at the 4NCL was 3x national champion GM Fernando Peralta in 2024. I'll try to live up to that😅 lichess.org/broadcast/4ncl…
