Bunratty live

The official website promised you could "Watch Bunratty 2011 live on the internet" so I decided to give it a go here today. Only one game - a bit disappointing, but it does feature Nigel Short. So here are the moves.

Adam Hunt (White) -v- Nigel Short (Black):

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e5 Nfd7 6.h4 c6 7.Bxe7 c5 8.Nb5 Qxe7 9.Nc7 O-O 10.Nxa8 Nc6 11.Nf3 cxd4 12.Qd2 Qb4 13.Rd1 Qxb2 14.Bd3 Nc5 15.Nc7 Bd7 16.Nxd5 Rc8 17.O-O exd5 18.Qf4 a6 19.Rb1 h6 20.Rfd1 Qc3 21.Kh2 b5 22.g4 Re8

Nigel doesn't seem to be quite at his best; has the legendary Irish hospitality affected him? His 7th move, leaving his Queen en prise, looks more than a bit dodgy. Ah, good, he's noticed next move. However, even more surprising he's forgotten you can't castle out of check (move 9). Probably best to draw a veil over the rest of the game.
