I know, thought he could pack some punch into my KZbin channel, Trompowsky not my strong point.

She said it wasn't the best opening choice perhaps, you do have to be very accurate with a Benko gambit, she advised playing in more tournaments, although I did play around 50 English chess federation rated games this season, she was a bit reserved, not a lot of talking. We played about 5 games, I lost all 5, I came close with a Grand Prix attack but the battery on camera died before the game ended.

@@TomPhilidor No shame in losing to such a good player. Do you have a FIDE rating? I played competitively as a junior and after 40 years have just started playing casually again.

Not in standard play yet, but I do have FIDE rating in rapid & blitz. I have ECF standard play though. Glad your getting back into chess

@@TomPhilidor And what are your ratings so far?

Thanks for watching though, yes learning to edit & sync chess boards in has been quite the mission
