Chess

Here is a collection of some of my best or most significant over-the-board (OTB) chess games. You can click through the moves directly on the board below.

2026

This is my best win of 2026, and my first against a titled and 2000+ rated opponent.

2025

This is my best-ever game in the Scotch opening, against a strong opponent.

This game is a really hard-fought draw against Matt Ball, an acclaimed chess author. I was playing Board 2 in the Herts & District final (Welwyn-Hatfield vs St Albans) and was under pressure the whole game. The draw was critical for our Welwyn-Hatfield to win the match and the cup.

2024

This is one of my first wins after coming back to OTB chess post-pandemic, in an exciting open Sicilian.
