This game, played at a time control of 30 minutes each, I have shown to every club member I have been able to corner, and now it's your turn. Bob, who defeated me comprehensively in my first game after joining the Exeter club, tries a provocative opening at the fast time limit, but gets driven back by Pawns, and is mated by Knights. — DR
