Elisabeth O’Shaughnessy vs. James Burke, REPLAY GAME HERE
Round 1 of the team tournament, Tuesday 9th June 2009.
Annotated by James Burke
1.e4 c5 2.c3 Alapin’s move – perhaps inspired by Sam Collins’ recommendation…!?
2…d5 3.exd5 Qxd5 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.Bb5 Nf6 6.d4

Given the circumstances, as shown in the next note, better might have been 6.Na3 with 6…Bg4 the most likely move.
