This game was the best of the match between Hounslow and Kingston in the Thames Valley Knockout. It answers the question about the difference between a strong player (over 2000 rating) and a regular club player. Jasper deploys an opening – the Grand Prix Attack – which is full of danger for his unsuspecting opponent. Black allows White to drive a stake at f6 into the king’s position, after which the mating attack is inevitable.
