1966: Dominatrix

Game Clapp,BW - Hall,RVM, Exeter vs.  Exeter University, Exeter & District, 1966

Dominatrix

Richard Hall is and was a much stronger player than me and won easily when we had met before. This probably explains why he played carelessly here until it was much too late. From my point of view the game is remarkable for the almost non-stop activity of the White Queen from move 11 on. — BWC
