Move 2 and a quiz!
#1
One of my opponents in last year's Commonwealth Championship, Aravindh Chithambaram, has had a lot of publicity in the last few years - and rightly so! He is an extremely talented boy, already a GM at 15, who I reckon will become one of the world's top players in due course.

A Chessbase article from yesterday shows his talent very clearly - he defeated a 2349-rated FM after moving his rook on move 2!! (Against me he played 1.Nc3!)

Quiz question: Which titled Scottish player has also moved his rook on move 2, and what were the moves??
