1 November 2017, 12:26 amPhil McConnellTrefor showed us this remarkale game before "start of play" on Tueday. Everyne looking at the game after move 32 assumed it was a stone cold win for Black. However, in a surprisingly tricky end game, Trefor's bishop prevailed over Michael's queen!

Trefor says that in his 50 years of playing chess, he can't recall a more remarkable game than this one. Enjoy!
