A quick Dynamite Advance French. Fun line for blitz games.

@c_kennaugh "Never got anywhere by resigning!"
Generally true but I have had opponents who have resigned early in order to get home.

[Michael Bennett @bennettchess]

My opponent (White) understandably resigned this position due to low morale, but the engine says it's a draw 😢

Comedy palate cleanser. Robert Jenrick about to grandstand but reminded of his defection from one party to another this year is gold. The timing. First line great. Second line superb but crowd not recovered from the first to fully appreciate it 😊

@plittl Ok this is not obvious :-)

[Michael Bennett @bennettchess]
