Hastings GP January 2010



Andrew Easton vs. Freddie Coleman

Here is an interesting position between the tournament winner and the highest placed under 8. Andrew has won a knight but Freddie has whipped up a tremendous attack and it looks like Andrew will have to give up his queen to prevent mate on g2. However, Andrew showed great defensive skills and found a way out, can you see it?

1.Qd5+ Kh8 2.f4 The check on d5 gained time and allowed the queen to defend g2 after f4.
