In the second game from the Leighton Buzzard A v Luton A match this week, we look at the board 2 encounter between the player who had a 10 year unbeaten record in every game versus Luton Chess Club opponent, and one of our newest tournament winners. On Tuesday 23rd of April 2026, John R Sharp (2131) sat across the table against Jonadab Oki (1833). In this stylish and fascinating game, Jonadab's personality shines in his annotations.
We have to go back over 10 years for the last time a Luton chess player defeated John R Sharp. That player was Andrew Perkins, whose funeral was the day before this game. Shortly before he died, Andrew was looking forward to reviewing the best games of a Luton player to pick a game of the season. Jonadab's game here, would have been on the shortlist.
