Nihal Beats A Level Student During Breakfast Match

On Tuesday morning 26th June between eating breakfast and preparing his school bag ready for school, Nihal managed to fit in a game of chess with his cousin Anil, who was taking a break from the north of the country as he had just finished his A Level Exams.

Little did Anil know that he was going to be put through another A Level Exam, this one being Nihal's A Level Chess game, yes there is no escaping Nihal. He takes every opportunity with a potential chess candidate whenever possible.

Anil assumed that this would have been a chess walkover as Nihal had barely just woke up one hour before. Yet he was mistaken. Looks like he forgot to take that extra portion of his weetabix as Nihal checkmated him within 2 dozen moves. Nihal had no time to waste as he had to go to school.

Anil although did not make any mistakes out of folly, Nihal kept his Bishop pinned with his rook whilst simultaneously providing a pawn as a gambit in the pseudo pinned Bishops path. Anil had no choice but to give in to the gambit by taking the pawn, and then the rook to his bishop as Nihal had tactically planned.

Anil was left with just his King backed up into a corner and was soon cornered in by Nihal's rook, queen and King. Checkmate!

By the way Nihal had more ChocoHoops than Anil, which gave him the extra energy that was required. Well done Nihal!
