Aarons,P (North Bridge House A)- Klimach,R (Newbury Park A) [C30]

This is a game of two blunders. Black's second move is so weakening that it is almost the worst move on the board (there are lots of good ways to defend against the King's Gambit, and if you play 1...e5 as Black, you need to know at least one of them). One can only assume that White had already decided that this game was "in the bag" when she played the dreamy 11.Nc3, blundering her queen. After this, Ranita played excellent chess.
