-----------------------------------------
I'll keep the above updated with results as they come in. Once I have a chance to analyze my games, I'll also put up annotated versions as separate posts.
Will have to think about my openings selection for this tournament. Should I use the tried and true ones, but which my opponents can prepare for ahead of time? Or go with new, untested weapons that may still be partly on the drawing board? Hmm....
Nov 22 update: It's been an interesting two games so far. The one with TomG would have been a whole lot more interesting if I hadn't misclicked and put my queen down a square off, which forced an early resignation. Will be useful to look at the game up to that point in analysis, though.
Nov 24 update: Had a nail-biter of a game against Moth (Tim Clark), managed to pull it out in the end.
Nov 26 update: Final results are in and I've won the tournament on tiebreak. Many thanks to Rocky for coming up with the tournament idea and to him and my other two opponents for playing such interesting games, which will be analyzed over the next week or so.
Hey ChessAdmin it's me Moth. Your blog is one of my favorites btw. So far in the tournament White has won every game up to round #2. See you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI hope to see White's monopoly broken this round - just for equity's sake, you understand. ;)
