Nihal's Inauguaral Show at The Wolverhampton Chess Club

Bronze position. Not good enough says Dad, we want the best out of Nihal. Having said that we are very proud of Nihal, that we want to deivelop his game further.

So the natural progression for Nihal, is to challenge players outside of his normal surroundings.

Yeup no more playing with kids. We are going to take on the men of this world.
On a serious note, this is the right direction for Nihal to follow, if he wants to take his game seriously. Attend a professional Chess Club, where players play Chess for their dignity.

So we went out for our first ever Wolverhampton Chess Club event. It just so happened that they were having a mini chess challenge with their rival club from Bushbury.

There were very serious players here, some getting on a bit into their late seventies and eighties. They have seen it all, chess in prison ie nothing but chess during the years of war. They were like hawkeyes, preying on your every foolish, naive but well thought out move. For example, you think of plan of a sequence of moves, this thought process takes several minutes to strategise. The response, subsecond! Now you understand what we mean about hawkeye's. They see your moves coming a mile away!

Having said that, Nihal put on a great show that day, and was challenged for a game by several regulars who were experts.

Nihal may have lost a few games that day, but he managed to win 2.

In one of the challenges, Nihal played a Doctor named Dev, and he beat him in the 4th game after learning the Doctor's style of play. Nihal is a quick learner and he will catch up with you quick when your not looking.

Watchout, Nihal's about. Nihal is here to stay. Long way to go Son, but if we go by your presentation on the Inauguaral Showing, you will do well to learn from this wealth of experience that is here on offer. Well Done Nihal!
