It’s all square: Beckett Hill round 1 ends in battling draw
There was nothing to separate Chris Beckett and Ali Hill in the first round of our Beckett Hill exhibition match on Tuesday.
Rejean Dupuis and Richard Murphy
The two 200-odd titans battled it out for three gruelling hours before a draw was agreed after the 32nd move.
The game, see below, was tighter than my post-Christmas spending habits with Stockfish registering barely any advantage at any point.
Chris and Ali now have five games left in their World Championship-style match to find out who comes out on top.
They will each be offering their own analysis soon, but see what you think first:
