The art of the con: George Ward v Octavian Arsenie. Luton B v Milton Keynes A

In the board 1 game between George Ward (White) v Octavian Arsenie (Black), George played an opening trick that cost Octavian his Queen on the 8th move. It looked like game over, except Octavian is the strongest alumnus from the University of Bedfordshire and knows a trick or two himself. If there was a prize for best swindle of the season, this game would be a good nomination.
