Leighton Buzzard A have the strongest rated team in the Bedfordshire League. On paper. Last Tuesday, the visiting Luton A was outrated by over 300 points on every board. But this new, younger, bolder team came to fight. Board 3 was Luton A team captain Kamil Ozdemir vs FIDE Master Gary Kenworthy. The game below is annotated by Kamil.
An amazing and inspiring win for Kamil and Luton Chess Club. It came the same week as the funeral of the legendary Andrew Perkins, the last Luton player to have defeated FIDE Master Gary Kenworthy, back in 2018. Andrew Perkins would have enjoyed this game.
