Esprit de Corps. Tommy O'Brien v Senith G at the Milton Keynes Open

Luton Club Champion Tommy O'Brien led from the front, he entered the formidable Open section of the Milton Keynes Chess Congress at the weekend. Playing alongside him were nine Arena and FIDE rated Masters and a FIDE Grandmaster. As we travelled together to the tournament, Tommy gave sage advice, telling us about the Staunton Gambit. As luck would have it, his strong opponent played the Dutch defence, took the bait and played right into Tommy's plans. Howard Staunton would be proud.
