Steve showed us some fantastic games with the Kings Gambit (one memorable game with Shirov at a very young age smashing his opponent as white with the gambit). He mentioned it was an opening that is do or die, as it can become very promising but very exposing. Also mentioning that Mark Hebdon is a fantastic expert of the Kings Gambit and can demonstrate just how lethal it can be.
After some examples he then moved on to some puzzles etc where the audience could chip in, in what they were thinking. Overall it was a fantastic night, well celebrated and with the success the club is having of late, we hope next years anniversary will celebrate even more successfull aspects of the season.
