It is our great pleasure to welcome back Keith, who was our first “big name” speaker back in June 2020. In his last talk Keith demonstrated some key principles of pawn structure in endings. This time he will talk about some of his own games that illustrate Positional & Tactical Motifs. Keith welcomes as much audience participation as possible and would be very happy to answer questions about the talk and about other topics.
Keith gained his IM title in 1985, then became England’s 26th GM in 1995. His was English Chess Champion on 2008 and European Senior Chess Champion in 2014. His latest achievement in a long and successful career was winning the 2nd British Online Championship this August ahead of a strong field including Mickey Adams.
Following on from our last session with Andrew Martin on various gambits, this week’s meeting will feature a talk by Ken Coates from Crowthorne Chess Club about the Morra Gambit.

Strong correspondence players tended to be potentially strong OTB players.
