Chess Camp Day 4
Today was the fourth day of chess camp. It was a kind of interesting day today.
In the morning, just like normal, we did a lesson. It was on the French Defense. We learned the Milner-Berry Attack, or as the coach put it, the Attack Milner-Berry. It is where you sacrifice two pawns for an attack. It is very strong, and you usually win all the material back or more. Or you get checkmate. However, not a lot of people fall for this trick.
In the afternoon, we had a special lesson. The GM's wife went over one of her best games, and then the GM went over one of his best games. Both games were very interesting. There was a coach in the back recording the whole lesson, and both GM's had clip-on microphones on their shirts. It was still a great lesson, although there was a lot less noise from the students. I learned a lot more, because instead of studying our bad games, we studied two great games and saw why the moves were good.
I think chess camp was a lot more interesting today, with a lot more learning too.
