International Chess Challenge: First Captures

The International Chess Challenge has now seen its first captures.

Last week brought this very tense position.

Hutt International Boys' School (New Zealand) v The Links (England)

Hutt now decided to make the game's first capture with 10 Bxg7 and The Links recaptured with 10 ...Kxg7, giving us this new position.

Black's defence has now been slightly weakened on the dark squares, but on the other hand White no longer has a dark-squared bishop.

Will there now be more exchanges, or will the tension be maintained?

Tune in next week to find out...
