Congratulation’s to Culcheth new recruit, Thomas Quilter after he scored a fine win against Grandmaster Michael Adams.
Adams has been England’s strongest player since the 1990’s and he once challenged for a version of the world title. Adams is still ranked among the World’s strongest players so this was a fine achievement by Tom.
The game took place at the European Blitz championships in Poland.
Commenting on the game Tom explained to me that they played two matches and Adams won the opener in such a smooth fashion that Tom felt in the 2nd game he had to create more complications to stand a chance. Well it certainly looks like he managed it in game 2, creating such a wild position that Adams was unable to find an answer in the time allocated. See a short video clip below for the winning moment!
