Nihal's Queen's Knight Defence Success
When Nihal challenged his Dad's Queen's Pawn opening with a Queen's Knight Defence, it was difficult to see how he could avoid defeat unless his Dad did some serious moves.
The middle game turned out to be a classic. The game was not in favour of Nihal, as he was checked up to a dozen times, and the heat was on him as he finally lost all his pawns.
However, eventually some ingenious thinking paved the way for him to play a rook gambit, allowing his dad to take the rook by his own rook and thus providing a reverse gambit.
Nihal although by now was reduced to a king only, knew he had survived the loss as it was unlikely he would allow any silly moves against a king plus knight.
Dad said it was getting late ie 11pm as he was being distracted by jazz electric blues music.
Hoever, credit due to where, credits due. The excellent rook gambit payed dividends and earned him much added respect after a 2.5 hour classic battle. Match was drawed!
