Weird. I heard an interview with Trent yesterday morning on radio where he said he had been playing with his brothers since he was a kid, that he always tried to get a game in when he had free time, loved playing etc. Ok his opening play was not good like many amateurs, but why would anyone who had played for years just leave a bishop hanging to a pawn like that when he could just move it away?

Sort:
it's a nice sotry. Stange mover I think you might be over estimating the level of people who have played for years with family or friends. They can easily be below 1000. I couldn't watch the video because he said football or soccer is the same thing. It isn't, one is correct the other one is stupid. Watch the John Cleese video about it.
I wonder if Chess.com will write a report on this... interesting.
