If you have read through my previous game with him, In the Dentist's Chair, you will see that although he has a low rating, underestimate him at your peril. If you look in my annotated game which I have called Fool's Paradise, this game thoroughly emphasises the folly and the danger of leaving the Fool's Mate diagonal unprotected and allowing a damaging queen check on h4. The dentist's opponent, who had a rating more than 300 points north of him, was pulverised in just TWELVE MOVES!! In fact white could have resigned after just FOUR MOVES. How often do you see this kind of thing happen? Well, today is Friday so I hope you all have a nice weekend. Cheers and bye for now. Joanne
