Game 2 as Black - a bit messier, thought I had chances to trap the White queen but it never quite worked. Opponent made the last error in some time trouble, always harder to play rapid chess from a cramped position.

I am the official photographer for the private match between GM Felix Blohberger vs GM David Navara.
Surprisingly this is my first gig as an ‘official photographer’ for a chess match!
Very happy to have the opportunity to capture these incredible moments between incredible players ♟️✨

Shout outs to Mike Wozniak, Alice Lowe, Exeter Comedy Festival, Joel Morris and Izzy Mant in this post and I should of course have mentioned Will Adams for making this whole thing happen.

End-of-season silverware in a friendly match against our local rivals - I won 2-0 against a 2000 on board 1 and the rest of the team won fairly handily.

Game 1 as White - pretty good apart from not playing the mate in 1 on the final move!
